I got my period recently, and in principle should be ready to go to the mikva at the end of next week.
The problem is that I broke a bone and have an unremovable (and unwashable) plaster cast on my arm, which is supposed to be on for 3+ more weeks (from now). And that plaster is a major
chatzitza. I’ve seen suggestions to remove and/or change it, this is not a reasonable option for me.
So I need advice on what to do from now till then:
I assume (tell me if I’m wrong) that I do the 7 nekiyim as usual. But after that?
Do I bathe (all but my arm) then, or only when I’m ready to go to the mikva?
What do I do for the interim period: My understanding is no bedikot, no whites, but I’m fully a nidda. Is that correct, or are there some kulot I should know about?
Do I need to do another bedika after the cast comes off, before going to the mikva , or am I okay with the one I do at the end of 7 nekiyim?
Is there something else I need to know?
Or have I perhaps gotten something major wrong?
