    Re: Leg in a cast

    A friend's little one had a full cast earlier this year. He was about three. Couldn't walk at all at first, but was very determined and started pushing his little sister's walker around. Within a couple of weeks he was dragging the cast around like it was nothing. I think I even remember seeing him on FB jumping on the trampoline! So, as above, it was a very quiet beginning, lots of sedentary activities, but it didn't last long. I think his mum said sleeping was uncomfy for a few days, and it was hot, but it really didn't hold him back too much at all.

    No advice but sorry to hear, hope she isn't too uncomfortable.

    will she fit on a skateboard or similar trolley? I had casts as a kid and had a trolley I could lay or sit on and move myself along using my hands. it worked well at home. better if you have floor boards rather than carpet. hope it's only for a short gtime.
