This is the first time I've broken a bone, so this whole cast thing is all new to be. But it's not all bad.
For instance:
I rode the scooter at the grocery store yesterday. It was a pretty sweet ride. That baby could turn on a dime. Oh, and it made loud beeping sounds when I went in reverse. So rad.
It is great for scratching the spider bite on my other foot.
People bring us cookies.
I can walk on it! I have a cute little sandal that I strap on and then I can hobble along. HOBBLING! I'm just so happy to not be using crutches.
And here is the downside:
I cannot see the gnarly bruise which I know has formed on the entire right side of my foot. I can see a little bit of it poking out on my toes, but man, if that cast weren't there. It'd be the best bruise you've ever seen.
Have you ever had to wear a cast?

I broke my arm in the 5th grade. But I didn't even get a cast. I just got a lame looking sling. I would love to sign your cast. But I can't afford a plane ticket. Let me think of something clever to put and you can sign it by proxy, ok? I'll let you know.
I've never broken a bone. Glad you're looking at all the positive things. :)
I've never broken a bone, but I have collected some delightful bruises in my day. My best one occurred during my parents' bathroom remodel, when my stepdad dropped their tub on the driveway and it smacked my elbow on its way down. I was in agony, but my stepdad scoffed and said, "Puhlease! There isn't even any blood! YOU'RE FINE." (Can you tell he was the oldest of three brothers?) Just to spite him, I developed the nastiest and most awesome bruise (about the size of a softball) on my elbow a week later. Yeah. YEAH!!!
So having had casts on both sides, knees to toes (not at the same time), let me just give you a small hint of the hours of shaving that await you once that bad boy comes off. Just plan on throwing away the razor when you're done! :) I can make the odd statement that I've never broken a bone on accident.
