This Cat is Not a Dirty Dog - Even With a Broken Ankle

[ladycat]

I was lying in a pool of bubbles like a slightly drowned beetle, recognising my predicament and considering my options. I'd opted for a bubble bath, with my plaster-casted leg hanging out in a languid 1920's, 'I can do this baby' style; only slightly marred by 10 yards of bin bag and gaffa tape

You can get special bags to put over a cast so you can shower. I used to use a bin liner taped up around my leg above the cast using packaging tape. I had to put the tape on the bag and onto the skin to get a good seal but it seemed to work.

Getting out of the bath is a pain and will probably need help at first. I'd hang plastered leg over side and sort of shuffle until I could sit astride the side of the bath then swing my other leg out. Best to drain the bath before trying to get out too
