Broken bone question!
My son broke his finger really close to the knuckle so they had to cast it. She said he should shower with it outside the shower. In an ideal world, cool - but with a 10 year old, I worry about this. This is our first broken bone so are there any extra precautions I can take like wrapping it with a plastic bag or something?

When dh had knee surgery they recommended covering it with press and seal wrap, it worked really good!

Thanks ladies! I'll try these!
He did it at school on Tuesday catching a football during PE class. He said it didn't hurt and that he jammed it. We watched it for a few days and it didn't get any better so I took him to urgent care yesterday and sure enough, it's broken. Also on Tuesday, he turned over his dirt bike and scraped up his knee and elbow. They all thought the incidents were related but nope, just being a boy! He's beat up but he's walking around like the coolest kid ever proudly wearing his battle scars and gloating that he's the first person in our family with a broken bone! ?
