When I broke my leg a few years ago, I underestimated how difficult everyday tasks would be. I anticipated having trouble getting in and out of the car and going up stairs, but I had taken for granted some of the simple things in life, such as taking a shower. The first time I attempted to bathe with my cast on, it was a grueling hour-long process.
First I had to don a specialized bag to keep my cast from getting wet and then hop into the shower without putting any weight on my leg. Next, I had to balance myself while attempting to wash my entire body. After one time going through this process, I decided to invest in a shower chair, which made the process infinitely easier.
