Feeling your pain in so many ways! I had a total hip replacement in January. I could hardly walk and couldn't swing my leg over my bike all last fall. I was right there where you are now, just without the crutches. After surgery I had to used a walker and I hung my biggest pack back over the handles for hauling stuff. Loved the in-home PT, it was a great help. I was back on the spin bike and using my Bowflex a week after surgery. It wasn't much at first but getting my muscles moving again felt sooooo good. And as much as I hate stretching it has become new my best friend.

Also I assume your doctor has issued you a disabled parking permit? Use it! I was a little embarressed to use mine but my total fear of slipping on the ice took care of that. It was wonderful for hubby to get me out when I started to go stir crazy at home. Also gotta say I LOVED the motorized carts at the grocery store. They really do make shopping possible and they're a lot of fun too! Just go when the store isn't too busy. We also rented a wheelchair for a couple of outings. I just didn't have the strength to walk or stand for very long.

For what it's worth, I spent the time before my surgery doing what I could at the gym to get myself in as good of shape as I could. It was a tremendous help post surgery. I'm sure prior to the accident you were working out as well. Like my doctor said, I was training for surgery! Two months later, other than a persistent limp I'm getting around pretty good. Back on the bike, weather permitting, back at the gym and in the pool, but can't run anymore so I've had to tossed my budding tri dreams to the wind.

It all sucks now but it does get better! I'll be spending more time doing stuff around the house and less time training this summer but that's not a bad thing either. Hang in there!
