    Darn, what a bummer! You can put both crutches under one arm for going UP the stairs, and using the rail, put good foot up first, using crutches to bear weight. Then bring broken one up, then crutches. For going DOWN, put crutches down first, then bad foot, then good one...crutches will bear the weight.

    Hope you get over the surgery and recovery fast.

    So sorry to hear of your injury. I had a fairly bad crash this past weekend on my mtn bike too. (not as bad as yours) Both my legs and back are all bruised and swollen I hope you heal quickly. Try to use this "down" time to start a new hobby. There was a time that it seemed like every fall I had an injury that would sideline me for several weeks. I would get pretty frustrated as I did not have any non-active hobbies. Well, long story short I took up quilting, teaching my self the guitar, wood working etc. Best of luck my thoughts are with you.
