Two weeks! Woo Hoo!

Well, I've made it to two weeks without too many disasters, oo rah! Hopefully it'll only get better from now on in.

Today I have learnt two don'ts when using crutches.

Number one don't : Don't put off going to the loo until it is urrrrrgent. The rush can lead to missteps literally. I managed to miss the hand grip on my crutch after opening the door and slipped so I was hopping madly while simultaneously falling. Fortunately the bathroom vanity broke my fall - another bruise to add to the collection. Then I had to try and get all my equipment lined up and in the end thought "stuff this for a laugh." and just used the regular toilet seat. Bit of a mission getting back to my feet but at least I made it!

Number two don't: Don't get a cramp in your leg in the cast. I don't know how you avoid this but just do so. There is no way you can pull your toes back so you will end up in muscle tearing agony. I managed to slip my fingers down the back of the cast for a pseudo calf rub and that slowed it down but seriously, avoid if at all possible.
