From never sitting broken foot symptoms still to then not being able to move, this small injury really tried to find the better of me. It may be hard at first but lounging around in your pyjamas or scruffy clothes for any next 6 weeks or more is not going to help you feel good about yourself.
Try your very best to stay positive. Without a doubt, you want to smack someone right after they say that and yes, you will have straight down days but do your very best to stay chipper.

Be prepared. Forward think. If you would like something form another room, is there anything else that you need later rather as compared to making extra journeys.

Ignore the websites that say work with a bin bag and gaffer tape to position around your pot when you wash. This is extra hassle that you do not need. Invest in some sort of cast protector. They are easy to use, not too expensive and do the job without ripping your skin color.

If you shower, you will need to sit down to have the benefit. I used a nasty foot stool to take a seat on.

Make sure that where you may spend most of the effort, such as the chair, is comfortable and suitable for your needs. Use cushion piles or an additional sofa cushion to increase your leg. I used a further sofa cushion that Then i took to bed too.

Make sure you will find there's table nearby with everything that you will need such as relief medication, an extra large sock, rural controls etc.

Find a shoulder bag that you can wear across your box. This is great to carry things in, including food in sealed Tupperware cans. Put money and carry your phone in it on a regular basis. You can't rush to answer it making it best keeping it with you.

On laminate and tiled ground, use a computer chair to help you to move around.

Look after your hands. Purchase some wheelchair gloves, even if you are on crutches. They are padded but will ease the pain from while using crutches. Wrap a couple of fluffy socks with elastic bands within the crutch handles too. Use hand cream to avoid the development of hard skin.

Unless you have a downstairs lavatory, speak to your GP or hospital about asking for a commode. Mine was offered by the hospital occupational treatments department.

For those who have steps in your property, try to borrow an additional pair of crutches that can be left upstairs so you don't need to to move them up and down.

Go down the steps on ones bottom. Going upstairs is tougher. At first I went up on my bottom which truly strained my arms. Any time my pot was slightly smaller, I found I was able to go up on my own knees.

Chairs are ideal for helping you get up and down one big step. Sit on the chair close to the step and move your feet on to the other step and pull yourself up.

If you happen to pot or foot gets hotter, use gel ice packs wrapped in a tea towel to calm. I managed to fasten the towel around my own foot.

Do not sit all day viewing daytime T.
