Worst things about having a cast on your hand
– itchy itchy itchy itchy
– that feeling of your skin just DYING to touch the air
– wrapping it in plastic so that you can take a shower
– not being able to do dishes or clean

– anything with long sleeves doesn’t fit
– tying shoe laces
– very uncomfortable in hot weather
– not being able to ride your bike :(
