Okay crutches themselves are not fun. But when people ask you "What happened".. thats when the fun begins. People will ususally believe anything you tell them so its fun to make up stories of what happened to my leg and why I am on crutches. My favorite story to tell people was I was rock climbing and I fell 75 feet. That is all I have to say, I don't even finish my story and they believe me. Their reactions are great. Okay really? How realistc is that. Not very. (At least I hope not.. or I'm never going rock climbing again) But lying to people you don't personally know is pretty fun. They probably think I'm way cool and do fun stuff. Little do they know that I just fell skiing. But who doesn't love a good story?!
I went to the Doctor about a week and half ago and he told me I didn't have to use crutches anymore so I GLADLY got rid of them. But my Phyiscal Therapist told me I still need to use them. (I know... they should really get on the same page) And since I go to Physical Therapy twice a week I pretend I still use my crutches. Really my crutches are sitting in my car for when I go to therapy and I walk into physical therapy with them and tell my therapist that I still use them. Probably not the best idea.. but my knee and its exercises are coming along very well so it all works out. I'm happy I'm not using crutches and my therapist is happy I'm still using them. Wait what?
But since I don't use my crutches I got cursed with the post-surgery itch. No joke. My legs and arms itch all the time. I wake up in the middle of the night itching like crazy. I have bruises to prove it. The post-surgery condition probably doesn't exist. But Karma is a ...... So don't lie to your physical therapist. And if you do.. buy some Cortizone cream, that helps a lot.
