um, erika, that's what your beta readers are for. Some sanity and fact checking.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Unless you have a fuckload of spare money and/or some really special needs and a very open-handed insurance company, yes.
Hang on, I'll see about it...

ARe you wondering how easy it is to get your hands on them? Our local thrift store has oodles.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I got mine at the pharmacy.

The crutches I've had have been mass produced. I rented them from a pharmacy once and then I bought some from the orthopedic surgeon after one of the knee surgeries. I keep them in the coat closet under the theory that the minute I get rid of them, I'll have to be on crutches again.

What is even happening?
Not all crutches are wooden now, either. There are aluminum ones, which are definitely mass produced.

The aluminium ones are lighter, too. I've never been able to use crutches - I suck at balancing with them, so I demanded and got a chair, and then a cane - but I remember hefting an aluminium one in one hand and a wooden one in the other, and going, whoa.....

I haven't even seen wooden crutches in years. Though I think there was a pair at the thrift store. They looked pretty wobbly.
