Day 17 definitely brought an adventure. First airport experience since the injury and it was as though security had never seen a cast before. Amazing.
Got swabbed, scanned, metal detected a couple of times, had my cast x-rayed 3 times (7 times on the return flight), got kicked back out of the body scanner (apparently you need both feet touching the ground), and hopped a few miles around TSA while my crutches were under their own investigation. I had no idea they had a special x-ray machine for casts, too. Here’s what it looks like:
Used a wheelchair for both arriving & departing the Atlanta airport but other than that, it was crutches all the way. Speaking of crutches…. How long does it take to wear yours out?
Not even three weeks in and mine already look like this. Geesh…. Guess I’ll get new tips this weekend.
