Crutch You!

I am having a miserable time with these crutches. I'm in more pain because of them and just plain uncomfortable. Apparently the world doesn't know how to behave if someone has been injured. Here are some tips to help you help me.

  1. No need to stare. I'm using crutches + my ankle is wrapped up = probably a sprain/fracture. It doesn't mean that I have had crazy surgery or had my boobs done or have this disease you will catch. You really don't need to look at me like I have 3 heads.
  2. I have the right of way. I am in pain and you are actually going to make me wait until you can pass me? How about doing that "one good deed a day" and let me walk before you. It won't take but a second...I'm pretty fast on these things!
  3. Always hold the door open for me. Although I may say "I got it" I don't. It's pretty annoying to have to open a door when you have sticks for hands. And do you really want to be that jerk who watches while I struggle to open the door?
See, it doesn't take much. Maybe we can live in harmony again.
