They call it the " Black and Decker school of medicine"
Had three screws put in the head of my femur in '91, I think it was, motorcycle accident. Then, I had them removed a few years later....THEN another 15 or so had a total hip resurface (kind of a replacement type of thing) since the cartilage was gone. . Just chill out and read books & watch movies. Bone's always heal slower than you want them to, 5-6 weeks? Maybe three on crutches then three with a cane. You can probably ditch the walker right now if you are 'good at crutches' 3 weeks post op you can also get on an exercise bicycle and make your s/o shoot you some worried looks. Get off the pain med's asap.
These are all just my opinions having broken.... maybe 8 bones in my life. Femur is a big one, nothing worse except breaking the head... take care bro. Sue that driver.
