I had a hairline fracture when I was 13 in my left foot. Kept it wrapped with ace bandages and used crutches as much as I could stand to. Thanks goodness it hurt when I put pressure on it otherwise I would have not used the crutches enough for it to heal (heel).
Highlight moment: after a week on the crutches, I almost missed the school bus home which (from experience) I knew meant being stuck at school an extra four hours before a parent could come get me (we lived in the boonies). I said fuck it, picked up the crutches are ran to the bus...which was loaded with kids watching what looked like a big phony!
I made it to the bus and my new nickname was "Hop-a-long/Hobble-on".
