Writing a story, need info about recovering from a broken leg and a stab wound to the gut?

Funnily enough I broke my leg 15 days ago, and have been in the hospital for a while, so I know what's happening with it. Well, I broke my Tibia, which is kind of the shin. It will take 6 weeks for it to partially recover, and in those 6 weeks you can't put ANY weight on it whatsoever. After the 6 weeks, I will be given more information, but it is suspected that I will be given a boot to have on my leg for a following month. For the first 6 weeks you're given a pot on. Depending on the way the leg is broken, really depends on the time he'd have it on and the time he would have in the hospital, for example I broke my leg diagonally and had to stay in the hospital for 4 das, and had an operation. Now, if your character was to be travelling quite a far way a wheelchair would be used, but crutches are used to stand up, for balance and for hopping over to a bed, wheelchair etc. When I was sent out of hospital I used a wheelchair to get down to the exit, and then used crutches to stand and hop over to a car. At the time I had a pot over the knee, so I couldn't bend it, I had to sit sideways in the car. The hospital didn't offer an ambulance or car home, they just let us on our own way. If you're wanting more information on the broken leg then you can email me at gageoxley@yahoo.com. I'm afraid I don't know anything about the gut wound though. Good luck with the novel!!
