I’ve figured out how to carry a pocketbook when you’re on crutches. It doesn’t work trying to carry it on my left shoulder, as I’ve done for fifty years. When I get the crutches going in rhythm (swing crutches forward, swing body forward, swing crutches, swing body, swing…etc.), the pendulum hanging from the left shoulder falls down over the left crutch like an anchor out of control.
The solution is to hang it around my neck and let it dangle and bounce against my tummy. Not graceful, but nothing about the whole scene is graceful anyway.
Actually, the best solution is when my husband offers to carry it for me. He says I’m going to owe him when this is all over!
