How do people do the crutches thing and not kill themselves in the process? I'm telling you, I could be dead in a parking lot somewhere just from the sheer exhaustion of having to heave myself on these crutches! Oh my gosh, I about died the other day after having to crutch myself in from my parking space out in BFE, heaven forbid that I have to shop at Wal-Mart during the next 6 weeks I have to be using these darn crutches! Thank goodness I asked my regular doctor about getting a temporary handicap parking permit because my podiatrist never mentioned a damn thing about it!
Yesterday I had all of the paperwork in order for my temporary handicap parking permit and my husband was even off for the day (that's a huge surprise) so we took the paper work to the court house...and now I have my parking permit! No more heart attacks in the parking lot for me!

you know, it might be easier to just go buy a walker- better for the arm pits, more stable and you could add a bike basket and be more independent for the next 6 weeks, they make foldable ones- we try to convince all our post surgical gait train patients to consider it if they need to be non weight bearing for over a week!
You make me laugh Laurie! :-)My mom has a walker and I just can't make myself "go there" right now, LOL!
