here's a good link:
http://sportsmedicine.about.com/od/surgeryrehab/a/crutches_use.htm
The top of your crutches should be about one to two inches below your armpits when you are standing upright.
You can damage the nerve bundles in the area if you lean on the crutches and 'swing' from them.
One crutch is definitely easier - practice on stairs when The Husband is around :-)
