If you're walking around on crutches carrying a drink can be an ordeal. If you're not going too far then this is a simple solution.

Don't blame me if you break your other leg :-)

  • This reminds me of your health care debate video. You mentioned a guy in the US who broke his arm and it cost him 50,000 or something. Even with insurance, it would cost quite a bit if you were here in the states and that happened to you.

  • @USGiorgi costs nothing at all here for NHS treatment. Although from personal experience the surgery is second to none. Excellent. The care surrounding it though can impede your recovery.

    I made a video "hospitalcam"

  • Isn't it amazing how clever we get when we must? Love the video and the shuffle! Hope you are well. -From a knee surgery crutch walker

  • Well done i cant even walk with my crutches after foot surgery i just pathetically hop.

  • ROFL! Foot shuffle. I remember those days. I been on crutches for 2 months now and not these elbow kind. I use to hold them both under my arms in the beginning and do like this Zombie/drag motion when I had to carry stuff but now I usually just hop, it's quicker. What fun. lol Not.

  • I used an insulated thermos with a loop around the top which I could hold with one finger while still using the crutches. A finger on the other hand held the handle of the empty mug. If I wanted a spoon, I would put it behind my ear or in a pocket.

    Move, sit, get comfortable, pour, enjoy.

    I think that is a better option than stressing your good leg by doing the heel-toe thing and probably is safer than dragging a crutch as you move.

    You have a stylish coffee maker, though!

  • I tore some ligaments in my left ankle and my husband is probably getting tired of waiting on me too. What a great tip. I have a hard enough time using these stupid crutches anyway...but when I need to get a cup of coffee or a drink, I will definitely try it. Thanks! :)

  • 0:30-0:40 BAHAH!

  • how many times u felt during that move?

    Bet you did'nt make it all the time :P

  • Its slow but it works:) You water thing changed colur nice!

  • That is the BEST f****** tip I've ever learned on Youtube...

  • Woo! I do that alot right now, Its kinda hard at first but then gets easier to do
