I had a trimalleolar fracture a few years ago. I was non weight bearing for 11 weeks. It was really rough! I just used crutches. I really wish i had one of those kneeling things. I have to say though that it was quite fun zipping around the grocery store in one of those electric carts. One thing that was really hard for me was going from being quite active, to having to sit all day with my leg elevated. I started doing pilates the week after my surgery. Many pilates exercises can be done with no weight on the leg at all. It was a great way to get at least some exercise! I was also cleared to swim and use a stationary bike on super low resistance before I could walk.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
