Re: Crutches Advice?

[belladonna_took]

Going down stairs, crutches go first. Going up stairs, crutches go last. The same goes for slopes of more than a few degrees.
If you've seen pole vaulting before, that's pretty much what will happen if you get those two mixed up.

I agree with anon above. Try not to take too much weight on your armpits, they're not made for that and they get sore real quick. (assuming you have the regular kind, if they gave you cuff crutches you should wave them around in joy right now because they are awesome).

The height can be adjusted. If you're too hunched down to reach the hand grips, they might be too short. If you're being held up by your armpits like baby simba, they're too tall.

Walking is a matter of doing it and finding what works best for you. I have been on crutches so many times that I tend to move at a jogging pace because it's less tiring to cover big distances if you've got some momentum going. People will be struggling to keep up with you in no time.

Don't try to overdo it, your arms, neck, and shoulders will not thank you. They're not used to what you're asking them to do.

Be safe, my young failboat.

OP

OMG the stairs advice is great! I might print out your comment and tape it to my door before I go out (my apartment has 4-5 steps from my door). I just have regular crutches, but I'm not hunched or baby Simbaing (which made me LOL IRL), so I think I'm ok.

Thanks for your advice! (And this "young failboat" is 30+, so I appreciate it!)

OT, but who's the hottie in your icon?

I think I used my default, so it is Richard Armitage!

Thank you! Believe me, I learned the stair thing the hard way. Going down concrete stairs and suddenly tipping forward into nothing and then landing at the bottom on my face. Not fun.

I am impressed you have made it that many years without needing crutches! You must be a graceful and sensible human being.

Here is a little picture of the stairs rule:

AYRT/OP

I can't believe I didn't recognize The Armitage! Of course!

I am neither graceful nor sensible, unfortunately. Just lucky!

I'm definitely printing out the diagram and putting it on my door. Thank you again!

No worries!
I hope you have even more good luck with the crutches, then, and a speedy recovery.

He is even more dashing with a bit of facial hair. ;) I don't know why people keep making him shave for roles.
