Thank you so much for posting your story and all the updates. I broke my tib and fib three weeks ago, had hardware added last week and am wondering what lies ahead for me. You have given me a good idea of what I can expect. Since this happened at work I'm out on worker's compensation, which is good because it is my right leg that I broke. Thus, no driving. I am getting a walking cast this week though, and will be allowed to put minimal weight on it. I hope I can progress quickly. I haven't had much opportunity to use my crutches beyond the house. I had to go by ambulance to my first few doctor visits because I had badly sprained my left ankle, which is still bruised three weeks later. Will the joys ever cease?
