The best thing you can do for a broken leg is keeping your leg elevated. Also make sure you keep your cast and bandages dry.

You should stay off it. You will probably have a cast and you should use crutches or a wheelchair to get around. Get your friends and family to help you do stuff, like grocery shop or drive to work. You cannot get a cast wet, so to get clean, take a bath with your leg out of the tub.

You'll need a friend or family member to help you with rearranging your house for daily activities and getting you to the doctor at first. Speaking of the doctor you should call them before taking any over the counter medicines to help with pain or illness. For bathing use a bath chair, wrap your cast, and use an adjustable shower-head.
