So my daughter and I are both sick (upper respiratory infections) and I sprained my ankle today…I went without crutches for as long as I could and now I can’t walk without them. Seeing as we’ll be home for the next few days together, any tips for me to keep my sanity and us both fed and entertained? (crutch tips would be great….like how do i carry ___ while hobbling around on crutches, etc)

No S/O to help…

If you can get your hands on a walker, it’s much easier to use (even if it’s rather old fashioned) than crutches.

If you have an apron with pockets, it’s the easiest way to carry most things.

Foods that don’t slop, don’t require a lot of cooking, and are easily portable are the easiest. Last time I was on crutches I ate a lot of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Fun.
