What I've learned today: crutches friggin SUCK. my armpits are killing me, and its so clumsy and inconvinient...
So while in the city tonight / after taking the painkillers for the first time, I figured out that while it's slower, it's less painful and easier to use the crutches like a cane. So i had my friend who was driving stop by home, and picked up a cane we had lying around... so now I'm pimpin' the old grandpa wooden cane
