I hate to interrupt but....

But I can't sit in the edge of the bathtub because I don't have a bathtub!

It's a "closet shower" and I hate it.

And about the scratching... The reason I was using the flyswatter is because I don't want to break the skin, I know how crappy that can be.

Thanks for all the suggestions though, and thanks for letting me vent.

Um excuse me, but don't you have an EMT boyfriend??

Why are you using duct tape when you can use surgical tape and not take off so much skin??

And why isn't he around to sponge bathe you?? Hmmmm?!?!?!

Silly man how can he be missing the possibilities here??

Does HE have a tub??

Seriously. Explore the possibilities...

For real! My EMT hubby would all be like "Here baby, let me make you forget your pain." Insert worst Elvis impersonation you can manage and you've got it!

I hope that made you feel better! If it didn't, just rant some more. That's what we are here for. This too shall pass (but will aggravate the heck out of you while it's going on.) Any idea how long you will need the cast?

Seriously, y'all have got me bustin' up over here. But yes, I do have an EMT boyfriend. And yes, said EMT boyfriend has a tub. And yes, the offer has been extended already.

But maybe next week, because now isn't particularly a good "time".

Y'all are too funny.

Got a metal folding chair? Stick that puppy in the shower, and put another one outside the shower to sit your leg on, and if you don't have one of those removable showerheads, they are like $15.

Just make sure to let the water run on the chair before getting in there.

I found that taking Benadryl sometimes helps with the itching

I've only had....um....5 casts on my legs (and one more on my arm), so far.

 

[I have WHAT in my yard?]

Eeeek! That is way too much experience with casts, booker!! Have ya figured out that the law of gravity applies to you too yet??

And Iowa, girl, please, the wrong "time"?? PM me sometime Imma thinking we need to talk!
