I walked around on crutches for one day. Then I went to get a knee immobilizer and walked with that on and used one crutch. After a few days, I walked with just one crutch, no immobilizer. Eventually, I bought a cane.
I could walk with the cane and it made my leg feel better, but my hand jiggled a lot on the cane, so it seemed a little scary. Then, Steve brought me an old platform cane from his Mom's. It is what I need but the tips of the cane are mostly gone.
This would be so much easier if I had hurt my ankle or foot. I could get one of those knee walkers at rentakneewalker.com. Unfortunately it is my knee that was hurt.
I bought a platform cane to try it out. The platform still isn't that sturdy. I do better on the crutch. So I am back on the crutch again. I don't see the orthopedic doctor for another week. Bummer. I do have PT three days this week, hope it will help.
