Today, I'm on crutches due to hip surgery. I went to the fridge to grab a bite to eat, but quickly realized if I wanted anything, I would have to eat there. I can't carry anything. Cold leftovers here we go. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I ordered food at McDonald's. I'm on crutches, and a guy offered to carry my tray to the table. He rushed out with my food. FML
Today, after I'd had hip surgery, my sister thought it would be hilarious to hide my crutches from me. I can't find them. FML
Today, as I was putting groceries away, I went to open my freezer door which randomly gets stuck by giving it a good tug, and a frozen hamburger fell on my right foot. My right foot, which is currently healing from a sprain I got a couple days ago. FML
Today, I'm lying in a hospital bed with two broken leg bones, a reattached tendon, and four screws holding my leg together. Why? Because I wanted chocolate milk and some asshat didn't see me walking across the road. FML
Today, I'm on crutches and wearing an orthopedic boot because a 22.5 pound box of cat litter fell out of my back hatch onto my foot. FML
Today, I was carrying my coffee from the kitchen to the coffee table and couch. Last week I had ACL surgery, so I'm on crutches. Unfortunately, I got the urge to sneeze on my walk to the couch. I didn't make it to the couch before I sneezed and spilled coffee everywhere. FML
Today, I'm on bed rest after a major surgery. I can walk to the bathroom but can barely raise my hands. At the hospital, my mom gave this dramatic speech of being there whenever I needed her. When I asked her to come make me breakfast, she didn’t show up til noon then complained I was in a bad mood. FML
Today, at the age of 16, I'm recovering from hip surgery. My friends took me out to the movies to cheer me up. They thought it would be hilarious to steal my crutches and leave me stranded and alone in the mall, multiple times. It wasn't. FML
Today, I came home from a knee surgery. I asked my mother to get me a glass of water. She replied, "You can get it, you're not crippled. Oh wait, yeah you are!" and laughed hysterically. FML
Today, I finally had a chance to get outside after receiving shrapnel to my leg. My crutches had not yet arrived so I didn't want to risk it, but my buddies said they had my back. We went to the seaside and I sat down as they say they'd be right back. It started to rain and everyone forgot me. I can stand, but not walk. FML

I had that issue after my ankle surgery, too. Put on an apron and make a pouch or use a grocery bag to carry the things you need to where they need to go.

The solution is simple. Place the fridge on a dolly and roll it everywhere you go. It even fixes the issue of "cold" leftovers. Sure, you might get food poisoning, but risks must be taken for the sake of convenience.

When I was on crutches for 6 weeks, I attached a small chiller bag to my crutches using cable ties. other than its uses of holding food or a thermos, it perfectly fitted a bottle of wine and 2 glasses ☺

I had hip surgery a few months ago too, and had the same problem. I unscrewed one of the handles and slipped a bag over it and then reattached the handle, worked really well to carry containers of things!

one solution that may work is to have a friend make a small platform/harness for you to wear, allowing you to place multiple objects on it

Learn to scoot on your butt! Works for me! My legs aren't even broken, I'm just lazy.

PUT IT IN A WALMART BAG AND CARRY THAT SHIT IN YOUR MOUTH. It sucks but it's the only way...
