I crashed skiing today (I sit ski, a type of adaptive skiing), and dislocated my wrist and shoulder and tore a ligament in my forearm. I can’t use my crutch in that side right now and I can’t walk without my crutches. I have a wheelchair fitting in a few weeks but what do I do now? I can sort of hobble around my house with one crutch but it’s very painful and won’t be enough for classes on Monday (I’m in college)

@Student_girl good luck! You can always get the chair and ask insurance after
Oy! So sorry! Are you able to temporarily rent a wheelchair
@Zebragirl yeah, that’s what I’m doing. Hopefully will pick it up tomorrow, it’s taking a while for insurance to approve and stuff

I'm not a medical professional, but one option you might consider is discussing your situation with your doctor or physical therapist to see if they have any recommendations for temporary mobility solutions until your wheelchair fitting. They may be able to suggest alternative methods or adjustments to help you manage in the meantime.
