sitting on a toilet while NWB (half leg cast)

    As the title suggests, what do I do with my heavy backslab cast when sitting on the toilet while NWB?

    I had peroneal tendon stabilization surgery a few days ago and this seems to be quite a problem. I had ligament repair done before and I had a full fiberglass cast with which I could just lift my leg off the floor.

    With this cast however i can't. I don't want to put my foot on the floor and yet I have to poop!

    Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks :)

    Quite a predicament...

    When you are sitting, having the cast on the ground doesn't count as weight-bearing.

    Plus, it's only for a short time.
