My Flying Crutch

by Chloe - 28 February 2009

In the last three weeks I have had three out of state business trips. Since my assistive device mode at work is a single forearm crutch, that is what I used on the trips.

When I think it’s appropriate, I suggest they might want to acquire a wheelchair. But if I were to be honest, I’d say "give up now, because you’re looking at a long painful stretch ahead of you".
