Poigo Moigo
My mom got sick of sleeping on my couch, so she trucked me down to c.sprizzle for the weekend. My foot pumps expired yesterday, so for the third week post-op I have to wear these ridiculous looking foam boots whenever I’m laying down. And yes, they are velcroed together. My parents go to bed at 10. I usually go to bed circa one am. My mum preps me for bed at 10. Hmmm, that presents a problem.
The problem: it is amazingly impossible to get out of these boots if need be. Say to use the bathroom, grab a drink, etc, etc. I’m sick of waking my mum in the middle of the night so I can use the bathroom. So…. I figured I’d try to pogo slide over there. Took a few near falls to perfect the technique, but I sure as hell figured it out. Crutches first, lift both legs and swing them forward past the crutches. Plant, swing crutches forward past the feet. Repeat. My parents bathroom is made for an extremely skinny person, thus walking in with crutches doesn’t quite work. So imagine me with doing the wiggle pogo slide sideways through the door. That’s what I was doing at 23:31.
