Wow, so much good information! Thank you, sincerely, everyone. Really!

I hadn't thought about gloves for the crutches, so I'll definitely start wearing those.

And Muirenn - I just thought about my hiking pants yesterday, good suggestion! I have two pair, one with zip off legs. Both are stretch/flexible (ie, comfy!) but presentable and both are designed to work over hiking boots, so they'll be perfect! I also have one pair of wide leg dress pants that will also work (also with some stretch), so that should get me by at work. I can wear the one pair of jeans that I can get over it or a pair of yoga pants on Fridays.

And I can wear skirts once I don't have to elevate it so much (and once it gets warmer).

I've ordered a knee scooter that arrives today, so we'll see how that goes. I'm hoping we can rig it a bit with all our extra bike parts, to make it more suitable for my needs (like bigger, more rugged wheels). It'll probably only be used at home. I managed at the grocery store with my husband just fine last night on the crutches. I really mostly want the knee scooter for in the kitchen. I want to be able to balance my weight over both legs/hips evenly while I'm standing there cooking/prepping. And of course, having both hands free and the ability to scoot between sink, counter, stove, fridge, etc, would be helpful. I never wished I had a tiny little galley kitchen more than I do right now!
