But at least I can drive again! Doctor says my leg may take 2 – 4 weeks to heal, and I should keep weight off it during that time.
Being on crutches has its good and bad points.
Bad:
they get in the way
sore arms and hands
can’t carry stuff
untidy house
Good:
great talking point
people offer to help
handy pointing device
stairs are an interesting challenge
Actually, the offers of help has been a difficult thing to accept. I am so accustomed to my own self-reliance it is a shock to realise I can’t even carry a cuppa to my desk (unless I want it over my shirt). I think it is natural for people to want to help, and I have to actively resist my own natural urge to politely decline.
