10 ways to hurt yourself while on crutches

It is day 5 of wearing crutches and a splint.  I had no idea how clumsy one can become when having to learn new ways of perambulation.  Yesterday I fell up the same stairs I fell down to cause the original injury.  I attempted to mash my hand in the van door twice.  I've dropped my guitar twice and spilled water on it.  I sat too hard into a chair and busted it.  (It was embarassing, because I was half undressed and stuck in the chair.  Linda had to pull me out.) 

I'm grateful Rosalyn wasn't there with a camera. 

On top of that, I leaned too hard on the shower nozzle and broke it.  And those are just the things I remember.
