@wirecutterunion.bsky.social not everyone who needs a walker/rollator is geriatric. I’m disappointed that the byAcre one I’ve been using with absolute delight through recent medical issues wasn’t even in your testing pool.

I survived! My tibia was properly fused back together (a previous injury as a kid broke it & healed poorly which is why it snapped so easily 2 weeks ago). Meniscus got minor repairs. Thanks to the gift of a family out there, I also received a new ACL from a donor. donatelife.net/donation/don...

#11 If you live in a snowy place, they will give you these attachments to your crutches that can go down to help you navigate ice with stability!

I took a tumble while skiing last weekend and thought I’d share lessons learned so far in hopes it helps someone else. Oh, and maybe I can get extra tips, too!

#1 - save the number for local ski patrol in your phone. Thankfully an off-duty EMT stopped to help and made the call for us.

I was gifted a desk cat bed for Christmas for my ergonomics sake.

Instead of solving my problem, I now have two cats in my office all the time instead of just the one lap-sitter…

Oh, look, a new feed to burden with Duolingo updates so I can get more gems that I’ll never use.
