Grrr.... Arg....

So sick of my couch...

Here are some more tips when trying to get around on crutches...

10. A backpack has a dual use, to carry everything and anything you need to have with you, and a counterbalance for when you get a little too enthusiastic with the crutching.

11. It is the best ab, arm, and back workout you will ever have (besides working 7 days a week with a personal trainer and lifting more than your body weight...)

12. Wait until the bus has completely come to a stop before attempting to stand up while having to use crutches... no matter how stable you think you are... you are wrong

13. No matter how independent you think you look on "walking sticks" you will still get looks with sad puppy dog eyes from 50% of the people you see, from 25% you will get the knowing glance, and the other 25% will not give you a second look or thought even if you are yelling at them to move....

14. Your balance will increase exponentially, you will feel like a graceful ballet dancer when you go to pick something up you have dropped... although to the rest of the world you probably still look pretty clumsy.

15. Your palms will hurt, no matter how good you think the muscles in your hands are, it will get worse before it gets better (think cracking muscles).

Just a few more observations from this peanut gallery. Maybe some comments to add as well, the bathtub does start calling your name... and it gets increasingly louder as your "cast destruction" date nears. I am currently T-6 days and it is currently screaming at me. If you know how I can shut my bathtub up (short of smashing it) please let me know...
