Definitely get a chair or a mobile cart for the airport. And if they give you grief about not notifying them in advance, a dramatic sway and faint does wonders to budge the people at the check in desk. Not that I, er, know this from experience or anything...
I've long thought I needed some sort of "Stupid Injury Expert" badge for the sneezing whiplash, tripping ankle-breakage, cardboard scars, etc... but I didn't realize it was, like, a club. ...Welcome aboard, then; meetings in the padded room on the left, cotton batting, bandaids, ice, and compression wraps on the table up front. Lukewarm coffee and pre-cut snacks to the left.
Oh, also, book arrived today; I may even, JUST because you are ouchy, attempt to work out how to take a picture. With the webcam on the laptop or something, I suppose (I have neither cell nor digital camera, heh). Also, fuck, you were so not kidding about the packaging; I'll let you know if I manage to get the thing out of the box without incurring a Stupid Injury™
Want to join our spinning group? There are always at least three of us with canes, crutches and/or casts; we look like a bunch of old soldiers. We'd lend you a spindle and some wool.
But seriously, Sam -- one word: electroencephalogram. You have way too many of these adorable little accidents.
Oh man. The last time I had to have knee surgery I was on crutches for six months and my armpits were not very happy with me. Maybe you can teach Holstein to fetch you items while you convalesce since he likes you so much.

Let the airline know, and when you fly home maybe you can get mobile cart service through the airport.
