Laundry hampers and car doors

I have learned 5 things since becoming immobile and I would like to share them with you:

1. Electric carts at the grocery store are no longer embarrassing, they are AWESOME.
2. People give you dirty looks when you park in handicapped spots... until it takes you 28 minutes to move your seat back, grab your crutches, maneuver them out the door, contort your entire body to carefully rotate your leg over the car door arm rest and out the door without your pants falling down,  finally get out of the car, adjust all clothing, brace, purse, crutches, wobble 4 feet, close the car door, and finally crutch away.  Yeah, by then most people know you probably deserve the handicap spot.
3. Lucy doesn't care that it takes me 8 x as long to get to the door to let her out.  She still likes to beg to go out, then when I finally get there, she goes back to the living room and lies down. jerk.
4. Office chair with rollers + hardwood floors = best thing ever.
5. The laundry hamper also doubles as foot rest in the shower. Who knew?

Some day I'll look back at all this and laugh.  Oh heck, I'm laughing now.
