Tips and suggestions for coping with 2 arms in plaster please!

[Buda]

A good friend was training for a charity bike ride from Budapest to Romania and came off his bike yesterday and has broken both elbows. In plaster from hand to shoulder as far as I know.

He is normally a very busy person and will not take kindly to be so incapacitated.

Any tips or suggestions for ways to make his (and more importantly his DW's!) life easier would be appreciated.

Obv he can't even wipe his own bum!!! His DW is already thanking God we are in Europe with bidets in every house!

Bump!

Can he turn pages? Write?

No idea yet!

Well for things to do talking books on CD and tape would be good
Sitting in the bath rather than showers is obviously the way to go hygiene wise
Can he feed himself?

His wife is fab and one of my best friends - am just looking for anything that others have come across to maybe make this time easier. They have 3 DCs - 10, 7 and 18 mths.

He will have lots of visitors but just wondering about practicalities really.

ok
talking books
good tv and remote stand
DVDs
could he learn a language by tape/cd
Wimbledon is soon if he likes tennis
euro 2008 maybe buy sky plus for few months if he likes sport etc can pause rewind if he gets tired/bored

Ihad 2 arms 2 legs in plaster aged 15 ( horse ridong accident) I thought getting right back on was best... Have photo of me somewhere sitting on my horse in four plastered limbs

LOL Piffle at thoughts of you back on the sodding horse! Madness!

Sorry - didn't check back to this.

He is doing OK. Went to work today!!!!! Had conference call he had to do.

His wife is looking for volunteers to wipe his bum!!! Not takers yet funnily enough.
