Walking Boot,Crutches,And Snow...HELP!?

This is basically 2 questions:

1. How do you deal with crutches,snow,and slippery halls at school?
2. My walking boot is one of the very open ones (it has open toes,and the only plastic is on the bottom and sides),how do I make sure that it doesn't get wet?

I don't care if the bottom touches the ground because it's plastic and touches the ground all the time.It's mostly that I don't want to get my foot all wet...And there's like 6 inches of snow on the ground right now!

1. Take your time, that's about all you can do if you can't avoid the inclement weather.

2. Try putting a plastic bag over your sock but under your walking boot. It may look silly, but it'll keep you dry.

1) you just have to be really careful and if you can, walk where there isn't snow.
2) there isn't a way to make sure it doesn't get wet, besides not letting it touch the ground.


believe me. i live in chicago and last winter i was in the same situation. it sucks. you just have to be extra cautious

Oh honey if I were you I would take a couple of days off of school and have someone bring you your work. I have been on crutches since December and I have come to realize that the world it not made for people on crutches. It is so difficult in ice and snow. I know that is probably the easy way out to just not go anywhere, but I would rather do that then slip and fall. When I was on crutches in high school I used a wheelchair so I wouldn't fall, maybe your school has one you can borrow for the day? Ask.
