I sprained my ankle& the nurse said i need crutches. How do i hint to my mom that i need to use crutches?


i feel down the stairs and sprained my ankle, a nurse told me 3 times that i need crutches and it is bad that i have been walking around all day with out them. the only problem is, when my brother hurt his foot 6 years ago i used to love playing with his crutches and i would always use them to play around. i need to tell my mom that i need crutches with out her thinking that im just saying that beause i want crutches. ive been droping hints like 'oh well the nurse said i shouldn't be walking on it' but she's not getting the hint. what should i say?

just tell your mom how hard it is for you to get around and that the nurse recommends crutches. believe me, your mom won't think you just want the crutches for fun. crutches suck! good luck in your recovery

have the nurse tell her

have the nurse call your mom and tell her, or write a letter and bring it home...that's ridiculous, don't walk around in pain just tell your mom! if you have a sprained ankle there would be swelling and bruising so she'll know you aren't lying

umm, how bout, Mom, the nurse said I need to use crutches.
