Answer:

i’ve never broken a bone, but my friends have!

Step-by-step explanation:

-elevate your leg for the first 24 hours of getting the cast to reduce swelling

-frequently move the other parts of your body that aren’t broken

-ice the cast to reduce swelling, but put the ice in a ziplock bag

-keep your cast dry and clean

-don’t try to itch your cast with an object, it’ll get stuck and hurt

fun tip:

doodle on it and get friends to sign it!

hope this helps ): good luck!
