I accidently got my cast wet!

I accidently got my cast wet!

Well this is off topic, but I broke my tibia while horseback riding, tonight i was showering and water leaked through my cast and collected at my heel. Im worried it wont be able to support my tibia. Im kinda freaked out, and need to know if it will be ok. It drenched, like how u get water in your shoes and it squishes? Thats what mine is doing. If u have any advice please let me know!

call your doctor and ask about it.

There are walking casts available that will pretty much do the same job as the plaster ones, the nice thing is while bathing you can take them off.  If you have a stable fracture try this little guy out.

Certainly make life easier.
