@becsbuddy The cast is now a removable splint. The OT gave me several washable sleeves to wear inside of it, and I had a couple here from my previous surgery. So yes, it is HOT, but as soon as I come in, I take it off, wash up and let it air dry, then put it back on with a clean sleeve. I do the same if I go to the store or anywhere, except I also wash the splint with soap & water. Once a day I handwash all the dirty sleeves & all of our used masks and hang them on the shower rod to dry. Yesterday I had 4 sleeves and 4 masks hanging there. Remember the days when we used to do that with all our nylon hose and "unmentionables"? That's what our main bath reminds me of - good thing we don't have guests these days.
