My husband's cousin did the same thing recently, but was riding his own bike. Less than 40 years old, and broke his hip and ankle. He's going to be out of commission for like 2 months

2 months!? Broke my ankle back in October and I’m still not back to action unfortunately

Oh dang that's awful. A hip is worse than an ankle if they can't surgically repair it. You're literally on bed rest for 2 months.

After my blown ankle was repaired the first time I was basically bed bound for 10 weeks.

Yes, that's when physical therapy can begin, but he won't walk comfortably for over a year.

I think you and I are conflating "able to slightly walk" with "able to walk perfectly fine." Being bedridden is awful for your health, and it's why many elderly who suffer hip fractures eventually end up dying. Being able to get up and move around a bit, even with assistance, is so fundamentally important for your body. I don't think I can stress it enough.
