Just a foot note for all crutch users, don't go anywhere near smooth surfaces when your crutches are wet. Last time it was beautifully sunny for most of my time incapacitated, the one day it rained, I ventured out and went over on the damp moss outside. This time it was the entrance hall that got me. I new this could happen because it had happened previously so I stood and meticulously dried my crutches on the doormat but there were splashes of water on the floor and one of them obviously got picked up. I don't mind falling over, having CMT you tend to fall over a lot but your instinct here is to slam your spare foot down to balance yourself, by which point you're usually over balanced so end up just slamming the toes down. Needless to say you can feel the pins in a highly uncomfortable way! Fortunately, two lovely ladies from work were around and escorted me to a chair and then wouldn't let me walk anywhere on my own so I have been escorted to my desk and am being provided with toast!
Lets hope the stitch removal this afternoon goes smoother...
