Welcome to Gaia! ::

Well, I went and sprained my ankle this last spring (being a clutz) and now it's coming back to make me pay. Whenever I set my left foot down, it tingles and hurts in a way it shouldn't. So, when I went to the nurses' office, they said "stay off of it", take pain meds and ice it. To stay off of my foot, they gave me crutches.

I go to school with 2 feet, I leave with 3. >.> Something's wrong there.....

Oh my gosh! Crutches are so hard to deal with!! I have problems balancing without getting a set of crutches under my arms but with them? I'm in trouble. I don't want to use the crutches because I'm afraid that people will look down on me as "crippled" but... pain or low-ego? Low-ego, I guess....

That's my plight: Margem with crutches! (I dred stairs tomorrow....)

Thanks, Shin, but I ditched the crutches that night because it hurt me (overall) more than it helped me. xD sweatdrop

I just have to take it easy, more or less. Aka: no "running" to class.


However, it DOES give me a huge insight towards working with those with crutches. I understand, now, that crutches aren't as easy as they seem (especially for one who has horrible balance like me).
