Does anyone know how much a cast........

up to your knee weighs? I actually try to balance on the scale and I am down a few lbs even with the cast. At least there is an up side to this whole thing. I am trying not to think that I am losing muscle and that is why I weigh less. This crutch thing takes a lot of energy, especially going up and down stairs. Even taking a bath is a project.
I am craving corn muffins. I wish I could balance enough to make them. I may give it a try later today. I will leave the mess for the family to clean up....LOL!!
Have a good one all.

Imagine with all that extra weight-training you're doing how many more lbs will drop off the scale.
Hope you feel better soon - please be careful while in the cast and on the crutches!
Allison was younger, and she was a great help grocery shopping. I'd hoist her up from my seated position in one of those electric carts, and she could reach the top shelf and grab whatever item I was describing to her.

I don't know how much a cast weighs-I can only imagine. But I did see DD getting around on crutches with a knee immobolizer. We had to get innovative with the showering issue-it did involve a lawn chair! She also used the stair method that you've been using-not a comfortable experience.
Hope your family is treating you well! Take care of yourself and follow the doctor's orders!
Hugs,
