Broken leg

I fucking HATE having ym shit broken. Every tiem i want to get up to grab something real quick it's like a 5 minute journey just to go up stairs. Holy fuck it sucks. I was at costco and thought I was going to die because my good leg was starting to cramp and there was no where to sit down. Then later I went to the food window, ordered a slice of pizza, and then a drink. Well it is nearly impossible to carry a slice of pizza on crutches, let alone to go get a drink and carry it back. This shit is so beat.

Dude i feel your pain. I got a broken foot right now. Showering blows too, such a hassle.

I wore out the rubber on the bottom of my crutches and exposed the metal on the bottom. So whenever i would go on linoleum, the crutches would give out. I fell like no doubt 10 times in school yesterday.

that is so shitty. i slipped out on the mossy wood on ym deck yesterday and I let out the biggest "FUCKKKKK!" in front of my mom, and she just glared at me.

Showering is a fucking BITCH. I tried using a bag and then just like triple rubber banding it, and hanging it out, but no matter what the water is going to run down the leg, so the first time i did it, the water ran all over the abthrrom floor, and my splint still got wet. Now I just use like 3 trash bags and 4 rubber bands, and then just let it hang normally in the shower, but my good leg gets sooooooo tired.

my sister broke her leg 3 weeks ago. they x rayed it last week and the bone separated so on wed. they had to cut the cast open, rebrake her leg, and put wedges in her cast to force the bone back together. she has a cast up to her upper thigh. she has to keep her leg elevated above her head and she cant get out of bed unless shes going to the bathroom. the soonest she'll be back in school is may. she could possibly be out until september.

^ yeah, saran wrap your leg, and then get a shower seat, makes showering 10 times easier. you can rent shower seats from medical stores, or just use a lawn chair

yeah at school I hopped in the wheel chair, and I learned wheelies and 360 wheelies in like 20 minutes. They are pretty damn fun I must say, But being in them full time would be a BITCH.

I have a broken collarbone and it really hurts to lay on my back/sleep. Do you guys have any tips on how I can get a good nights sleep?

cool, ive been takin a lot of advil but its not doing much. A piece of the bone chipped off and the doctor said that its lodged in a really sensitive muscle so I will be in a lot of pain for a week or so.
