It it's the first, then what I usually did was sit on the side of the bath, then slowly let yourself down in the bath, have the leg where the ankle is in the plaster hanging outside of the bath. It looks really ridiculous, but it worked for me. Getting out of the bath can be a bit tricky (danger of slipping), but if you're careful, you'll do fine.

When I had my leg from groin to ankle in the plaster some 15 years or so ago, I did what you're doing now

EDIT: oh, and be prepared for the smell once the plaster comes off. It'll smell awfully. On the positive side, you'll finally be able to scratch your damnable leg... If it can be any consolation, I had my left leg in plaster from groin to ankle during Summer. A hot Summer that was. Itching and not being able to scratch drove me mad.
Hi Andres, thanks for the advice. The cast went from my toes to my knee. I was lucky (well, I am actually not sure if I would say it is lucky) though and had it removed early and a boot put on (kinda like a cast, only you can take it on and off) because my foot cannot return to the neutral position, and I am gonna start going through therapy where they will do stretches and give me exercises until my fut returns to a 90 degree angle (relative to my foot). The thing is though that I cannot take it off completely as my bones and the ankle joint have not healed completely. I can unstrap it at therapy so they can stretch my foot, but I cannot actually take the boot off yet or get it wet.
