OT: showering or bathing with a cast on

Any hints about how I can actually get a GOOD shower while in a short
leg cast?

I've used garbage bags over the cast, with a towel wrapped around the
top of the cast and that held in place with an elastic strap. So far
I've only gotten the cast slightly damp but I haven't gotten a good
shower either.

Any help?
