I just messed my ankle up and am going to a conference in a couple days where I normally walk 15-25 miles/day for the next week.
I’ve been advised to use a wheelchair instead of crutches. And will rent one when I get there.
I get the feeling that I’m throwing myself into the fire here, having never used a wheelchair before, and likely spending a crazy amount of time in one moving around over the next week.
I usually can’t deal with sitting down for more than an hour or so before my back hurts, so I’m worried about that.
What advice do you all have for me? What do I need to know? What pro-tips should I take for the next week?
Exactly what I was going to suggest. My mom had ankle surgery earlier this year and used one for a few weeks while recovering.
