Young, Bored and Brok(en) Leg

So, I recently broke a bone in my knee crashing the plate in a co-ed, slow-pitch, no-contact softball game, and I’m now on crutches with a full-leg brace. Idiot. Suffice it to say, this fracture in my tibial plateau has put a real damper on my exciting and delicious adventures. For all of you out there that have been on crutches, you know how frustrating it is. You have to find a new way to do almost all of your everyday tasks like getting in/out of the shower, carrying a glass of water, giving yourself a pedicure, baking homemade zucchini walnut bread...


However, the biggest issue for me has been keeping my apartment tidy. Yes, I have all of my geriatric equipment: walker with a basket, squishy chair in the shower, long reacher with a handle (best used to pinch my boyfriend)...but none of these have proven to be as useful as my desk chair on wheels. My apartment has become incredibly dirty over the last month, and it was high time to vacuum and swiffer. So I made do with what I had, and I did a pretty mediocre job. At least it’s cleaner than it was before! Now what to do about scrubbing the bathroom and paying these insurance bills...
