Wheelchair being driven by support of family/healthcare staff. I spent 8 weeks in one when I broke my ankle. In my house where I knew my surrounds, I was given a walking frame that I used instead of crutches, as this protected me on three sides, and it had four legs so was very stable and sort of knew if I was going to bump into things.

Once my cast was off I was given a crutch that hooked up around my elbow to use as a walking aide for the side I injured.

Not on my recommended “Things to do” list..

Either that, or use two crutches and stay around areas I know well. My workplace isn't accessible in any real sense of the word anyway, so that part of my routine would be put on hold whether I was blind or not. Having never broken a bone that's not something I have any experience with solving, though I'm sure it's doable, like just about anything else, if you put in the effort to adapt.

O&M specialist here.

If you could put pressure on the broken right leg, you would use two crutches at first, using the crutches to clear your path. Then, when you could put weight on it, you would use one crutch or forearm crutch in the left arm and your cane in the right. Crutch and cane would move opposite each other kind of like scissors.

Sounds like wheelchair turf. It would depend on the nature of the break and your daily life. If you still had reasonable mobility double crutches and familiar areas would be sufficient but very slow. Wheelchair with someone pushing or a electric on and a sweeping cane but again not ideal.

It would be super context based and you would probably need to speak to an OT or such to assess everything.

Thanks for the responses! Boy that would be a rough situation
