The struggle is real.
Crutches suck, really badly.
While you're dealing with an injury and a whole new way of moving around here's some steps to take the pain out of yer sticks.
Take breaks often.
Rest up. Not only is your body taking the strain of moving around on one leg and your arms, but your brain is also coping with learning this new way of getting around. Get plenty of sleep, take breaks and break any daunting tasks into chunks.
Make the most of being off your feet and catch up on all those series you've been meaning to watch. Who knew it was possible to watch all three series of Louie in two days?
Get a rucksack.
We're not going camping (sorry), you'll need a hands-free bag to carry daily things like your phone, notepad, chocolate Hobnobs. Expect to develop a very close relationship with your special carrying friend.
And don't forget your flask.
Hot cups of tea and crutches do not go well together, get a flask and you can fill it with tea, put it in the rucksack and enjoy all-day sippin'.
Forget traipsing to the kitchen for tea a hundred times a day and if you make a full flask for bed you can wake up with a hot cuppa in the morning. Small pleasures.
