I'm getting knee surgery soon, and the doctors are making me use crutches for about a month. Are there any ways to make them comfortable, but for a long period of time?

It may take a while for you to get used to the crutches, especially if you need to be mobile and use them for a long time. First, rest your weight on your hands, and position your armpits about an inch (2.5 cm) above the top of the crutches. This prevents pain in your underarms. Second, keep your elbows slightly bent when holding hand grips. Third, you may want to invest in crutch pads to support your underarms, hands and wrists. When using crutches for long periods of time, additional good quality padding can be a lifesaver. Also, always practice good posture and body mechanics, even if it takes an extra effort.

Every time I try to use the Poke Radar, it tells me: "Mom's words echoed. Serena! There's a time and place for everything! But not now." Where can I use it?

You can only use the Poke Radar in grass or flowers.
