The recuperation continues. Nobody cares any more and I'm bored myself with this injury.
The list of things you can't do with a cast is a work in progress. You discover it as you go along.
You can't slice, dice, or chop. It's hard to pour from a heavy tea pot.
Washing anything by hand is nigh impossible. One hand gets vair vair tired shampooing your hair. Putting toothpaste on your toothbrush is unbelievably tricky.
