Top Ten Things To Do For A Friend With A Cast

The following Top 10 list is submitted by Mommy Blogger, Laurel Smith, of  https://www.momsminivan.com/cast_relief.html 

 Top 10 Things To Do For A Friend With A Cast


10. Get them colorful markers so people can sign their cast.
9.  Make a homemade “Get Well” card or send a funny eCard to give them a good laugh.
8.  Just hang out and provide some companionship – play some board games so they won’t be so bored.
7.  If it’s during school, carry their books.
6.  Buy them a gift card to their favorite downloadable music store or eBook store.
5.  Take them to the beach or pool while staying totally dry with DryPro™ waterproof covers or play backyard water sports with easy on, easy off CastShield™ waterproof covers.
4.  Break up the monotony and boredom by taking them to lunch.
3.  Make dinner for their family (their mom is probably tired of all those doctors office visits, especially the first week or so).
2.  Order some cute CastCoverz!Armz!, Legz!, Slingz!, Bootz!

1.  Relieve their itchy cast by getting them a CastCooler®!

Great list!  Thank you, Laurel, for creating it and for giving us permission to “de-genderize” it!

CastCoverz! loves this picture!  What do you notice about this FAB picture?    Definitely, the Get Well banner behind Shea.  We see Get Well cards on the mantle.  We adore Shea’s mega wattage smile.   ‘Love the Broken Bones t-shirt and the Lots of Dots Armz! cast covers.  Wait!  There are TWO cast covers!  Yep, Shea fell off her horse and BROKE BOTH ARMS!   She is definitely a candidate for this month’s OUCH Award, don’t you think? 

Thank you, Shea, for sending us your photo.  We hope all the other CastCoverz! companion products (CastCooler, CastShield, DryPro) have made your summer more fun…even with both arms in two casts!! 

Out of the Mouths of Babes

8 year old Morgan
Hi, I’m Morgan and I just turned 8. I broke my arm and it hurt. I had a plain old tan cast, but then my Mom ordered me a CastCoverz. I got one that is pink camo, for my step-dad who serves in the Army. I like how soft it is and how it stretches over my cast. I love my CastCoverz!!!
Is she cute or what? “Thank you, Morgan, for sending us the picture and writing such a sweet note!  We are glad you feel better!”
