@epicdemiologist @AlliFlowers I'm looking at crutches like these https://www.vitalitymedical.com/millennial-medical-in-motion-forearm-crutch.html
@sungo The opening isn’t big enough to go over a coat, and takes forever to slide into. @epicdemiologist
@AlliFlowers @epicdemiologist the ones that keep coming up are from ergobaum but woof they're expensive [CW amazon] https://a.co/d/eaGUSo3
@sungo Those are the ones I had!! And yes, ridiculously expensive. But when you’re doing the zombie chemo shuffle and can’t feel your feet from the neuropathy, they really make your life better. @epicdemiologist
@sungo Have you considered a rollator? I spent 2 years with that before moving to the crutches. @epicdemiologist
@AlliFlowers @epicdemiologist for me, the rollator is absolutely something I should look at and I have added it to the list. Might escalate to crutches but a rollator would have saved me ass the other day. for my partner's growing neuropathy, I don't know. Would you be ok sharing some of your experience?
@sungo The only change I would make is to get the kind that goes up high, so you’re not stooping over. I could whiz along pretty fast with that thing! @epicdemiologist
@AlliFlowers @epicdemiologist top of the list they go. we've that same chemo situation brewing in the house too. we might yet avoid it but it'll be close
