To be able to bathe and shower feels fabulous and we make more forays into the real world. I am still terrible at this crutch thing though and seem to be regularly tripping up the people around me. Crutches though can be used for many things that I never thought possible. You can draw curtains, push light switches on and  off, use them like chop sticks to pick things up and poke people with them. You can also nearly kill yourself with crutches , if you get  the placement wrong going down stairs. My foot aches when I have been upright for any length of time and am always glad to put it up.
