- Crutches are fun for the first minute as you bop around the hospital corridor, until you nearly run into a wall. Then you realize you're stuck with them for weeks, can't drive, etc.
- If they don't give you the proper size, you can kill yourself I notice on TV most of the time they never get the right sized crutches. It's like "we have one set of crutches for someone 5'5"; no one will notice they're too short for you."
- Crutches scare the wits out of cats (in case you work small animals into your stories; dogs them initially as something to attack).
- GOing down the stairs on crutches.... just crawl. So much safer!
- As soon as you're on crutches, people at work instantly want to hand you big things you can't take (it's like their brains just seize up and don't size up the fact that your hands are full).
- You're at the mercy of everybody else to get a cup of coffee!
Still have my crutches up in the attic, although if I ever need another pair, definitely do not want the wooden ones. Heavy!
