Finding New Ways to Do Old Things

We are in day #4 of the gigantic pink cast, and we are finding more and more creative ways to get things done.

Thanks to some tips from Jill, we know how to keep her cast dry int he bath, but hair was something else.  In the meantime, she comes downstairs and I lay her on the kitchen counter and wash her hair in the sink. This will get tedious over time, so I think we will look at some Home Depot options for a more permanent basis.

Until then though, it works.

I am sure the list will get longer of inventive solutions to cast problems, but here's where we have started,

*shirts with sleeves are nearly impossible, so I hit half day off at the thrift store yesterday and stocked up on sleeveless shirts.

*Rain happens!  I have purchased a plastic table cloth and a shower curtain liner from the dollar store with the thoughts of ways to wrap it up on rainy days.  And, in the same shopping outing, we found a used sized 4T raincoat at the thrift store that her cast and arm fit into.  So, we have some options to work with.

*putting her seat-belt
on is hard, but I decided not tell you how she creatively figured out how to do that one ;)
