I just had surgery and i can't really walk very well and i have to go to registration at middleschool in 2 days. I am not sure if i will be better by then and i am nervous that people will think i am a weirdo if i walk around limping. What should i do?

If you dont use them it might be a little weird but most people wont notice.good luck! [ dani022's advice column | Ask dani022 A Question ]
karenR answered Tuesday July 26 2005, 1:47 am: I know they have the big registration day at schools. However, you can register anytime after they start the registrations. You can go in the day before school starts and register if you want to. So, unless there is some class you're afraid you won't get into if you don't go on reg. day, just wait until you feel better. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

Erinn_the_bamf answered Monday July 25 2005, 9:09 pm: Don't really worry what people will think. After they talk to you they'll know nothing is wrong. However, if it makes you feel better use a crutch. It may make you feel better and it would probably be easier for them to understand. Nevertheless, there is no need. People won't really care because they'll know you just have a minor injury because limping isn't that odd. I hope I helped! [ Erinn_the_bamf's advice column | Ask Erinn_the_bamf A Question ]
Alpha345 answered Monday July 25 2005, 9:07 pm: You just had surgery! Why the heck should they think your weird if your limping about after surgery? Don't worry about what the people will think. You just had surgery and you can't walk well because it was so recent, that is all you can say. And if they do think any less of you, then you have no reason to even worry about them. Glad your surgery went well and hope this advice helps.
Squirrel_on_fire13 answered Monday July 25 2005, 8:51 pm: whoah whoah whoah. why in the WORLD would people think you're weird?! don't even think about that, it won't make you weird, if they really want to know, then they'll ask, just tell them what happened and they'll understand, I broke my collar bone and the same thing. i got kinda tierd of telling my story, but don't worry about it. Just tell them what happened, they'll understnad. if not, they're snobs ^^
ItzMzManda answered Monday July 25 2005, 8:41 pm: Dont worry about what people think about you as long as your being yourself...then everythings going to be great. If anyone bothers you becuase your limping then tell them what happened and why your limping or jus dont answer. Good Luck!!
LoveNJstyle answered Monday July 25 2005, 7:59 pm: bring a crutch if it helps you...then theyll knows its temporary and not like a diablility. oh and i know how it is, for my high school entrance test, i couldnt write cuz i broke my right hand so i had to go the special needs lady that helped by filling in the bubbles for me. that was pretty embarrassing...youll be fine. since then ive met a lot of friends. <3 [ LoveNJstyle's advice column | Ask LoveNJstyle A Question ]

answergiver323 answered Monday July 25 2005, 7:55 pm: ive been through that too except it was the first day of high school and i had no idea where i was going and everything was so big. it was hard, but i got through it, people most likely wont think your a freak and if they come up and talk to you gently ease in the subject of your leg, and then people will know that it is temporary, and they would have to be really cold and rude to make fun of someone who had a disability, you wouldnt want them as a friend anyway.
