Crutches!

(43 Posts)

Can anyone help me?
I'm trying to get a pair of carbon fibre crutches! You can get them on the continent but not here apparently. I've tried the web, eBay and amazon to no avail.
You can get walking poles and sticks but NOT ELBOW CRUTCHES

HELP

wink love you too!!

jeni Sun 12-Aug-12 16:39:09

Flatterer! But I love you!

glassortwo Sun 12-Aug-12 16:36:52

jeni you are so glamorous no one will even notice the crutches are black.

jeni Sun 12-Aug-12 16:31:29

They only do black in carbon fibre. You can get coloured sleeves for the handles. Tangerine, yuk. Purple no. Grey, boring. So I'll stick to black
I'll be 'the black widow' but I've only got 2 legs and I don't eat my mates!

Jeni why don't you ask if they can do another colour?
Say"Pretty Please" and you never know grin

Wow they've just emailed asking for heights of crutches, ny height, height of crutch to hand rest and diagnosis. These are made to measure crutches! I wonder if they'll come with a RR on each of them?

Heavens forbid! I couldn't manage to deal with all the cardiac arrests the sight of my naked body would cause!shock

Ella46 Sun 12-Aug-12 14:37:21

Well Jeni it would distract attention from the crutches if you were to wear a little less perhaps! wink

jeni Sun 12-Aug-12 14:12:10

I do wear a little more than pearls you know!

Fairy lights are only for special occasions such as chapter meetings!grin

Annobel Sun 12-Aug-12 14:06:51

And you are going to put fairy lights on them, aren't you?

Ella46 Sun 12-Aug-12 13:48:15

Nonsense Jeni black goes with everything, especially pearls! wink

jeni Sun 12-Aug-12 13:28:39

Well the receipt for them has come!
I'm now going to have to rethink my wardrobe for the cruise. They're black! confused hmm

What do you mean you can't take it with you ? I have a Mulberry bag with a wad of notes in set aside grin

Now if I had bilateral b/k amputations I wouldn't have the pain in my ankles either!grin

glassortwo Sat 11-Aug-12 19:20:00

Good for you!

jeni Sat 11-Aug-12 19:19:07

Going for them! I'm fed up of trying to lift my old ones with every step with my arthritic shoulders neck and wrists!

jeni Sat 11-Aug-12 18:40:53

Probably order on mon after I've seen Jeremy to arrange to transfer funds. Was seeing him anyway!

glassortwo Sat 11-Aug-12 18:30:26

Just put off retirement for a day or two! grin

Ella46 Sat 11-Aug-12 18:22:47

jeni You can't take it with you! grin

granjura Sat 11-Aug-12 18:17:44

If you need them all the time and love to travel - I'd say it would be a really worthwhile investment. Hope the 'computer says 'YES''! smile

jeni Sat 11-Aug-12 17:20:36

Hmmm! Have to talk to my financial advisor! shockgrin
