They are the correct height, and I’m reasonably sure I’m using them correctly, but nobody went over it with me this time. They’re not up in my armpits, but I’m not sure how I would avoid them rubbing against my sides and still being stable. I did order some pads for them; and a body pouch accessory!

I have a knee scooter but so far I’ve found it easier to navigate spaces on the crutches, but I need to try it out more.

Day 4 post surgery - I made it outside! Sat in the beautiful sunshine. The crutches are chafing the heck out of my skin though. I gotta figure that out; body glide did not help today.

Oof, I totally understand the sensory issues. I mean you know and she knows that she *should* be focused on strengthening stuff to balance out the hypermobility, but leading a horse to water etc etc.

Oof, I can relate because I was that person but man, it stinks. One change I wish I had made loooooong ago was running in minimalist/low-stack sneakers. I was always advised against it because the common wisdom was over-pronation + flat feet = bulky “stability” shoes, but having my feet lower to the ground would have protected me from some sprains, I am sure. Might be worth looking into.

Some medical terms I learned that I wish I could unlearn that Teeny may also like to consider: avulsion fracture, ossific fragments, bone marrow edema.

Yes! I am really going to force myself to recover well. I do not need to go through this again.
