Recovery update

Last Friday I went to my doctor’s appointment. My doctor asked me whether I’ve tried to walk without my walker. I told him I hadn’t and he asked me why. I told him I didn’t know that I could and was waiting for his permission to walk. Honestly, I did try to walk without my walker. But, it’s become my crutch. He told me to walk without it or my muscles will not be properly healed. I was also prescribed 12 sessions of physical therapy to strengthen my knee, hamstrings and quad. Ooo, I’m scared it will be painful. Full recovery will be 10-12 months. I've been reading forums of people who have had a broken femur and either people heal well or have lots of problems. Hope I heal well. Lastly, he told me I won’t be going back to work until January. Guess I’ll be twiddling my thumbs and tapping my fingers for another 3 more months.
