For all of you on here contemplating this op just remember one thing - crutches are HARD to walk on! Did my first trip out just now. Apparently if you've already done this they don't care, they still want to make you practice climbing stairs and watch you walking so I foolishly volunteered to crutch to the stairs which is approximately a minute and a bits' walk away. This is a LONG WAY on crutches. Made it there and back but am sweaty and have shaky arms. I realized I never really introduced myself as a person so now I hasten to add I am not a chain smoking, alcoholic, 22 stone man. I am a relatively fit, active, 27 year old female. We are simply not designed to support our entire weight on our arms so when we have to start its a challenge!
