Forms of Transportation

I'm traveling to Arizona this weekend for my cousin's wedding.

This requires a plane flight. And I have a broken foot.

My plan is to walk as slowly as I need to through the airport and take plenty of pain-killers. Is that stupid?

My foot may be broken, but I can still walk. I have no cast and no crutches... I'm hardly immobile, but an airport...?

I'm the type of person that flings my bag over my shoulder and books it through the airport. Get in, get out, get on with it.

And while I may not have that luxury this time, I certainly don't need to be bused around in a airport car-thing or a wheelchair.

I'll admit that I'm in denial about the whole thing and largely stubborn in regards to what I should and shouldn't be able to do for myself and there's no way I'd even let someone give me a wheelchair... let alone a ride through the airport...

I realize that I may be ridiculous, but I just feel like its a stupid foot. There are plenty of people who need those kinds of services and I cannot allow myself to be in that group unless the doctor demands it or I am unable to walk...

So as long as hobbling counts as a form of transportation, I'm good to go.

order a wheelchair, you asshole.

Your health is more important than your dignity. Or Pride. Pride has the potential to cripple you. Would you like to be crippled and have your foot hurt the rest of you life? I sure didn't want that.

So again, get a wheelchair. Asshole.
