Spica Cast - Experience with
 

Greetings,
I work in a hospital. I help children learn what to expect, in terms
that they can understand, when they go to the hospital or have a
procedure done.
I am putting together a book on "what it's like to have a spica cast". I
have all the medical and technical information, but I would like to hear
from a parent or child/teenager on what it actually felt like to have a
spica cast. This experience is to help other children understand what to
expect when they get their spica cast. Things I'd like to hear about
a
what it feels to have it on, what can I do, what can I not do, how do I
use the restroom, do I go to school like this, how do I get home or
around at home? Anything you would like to add that will help another
child will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much,
