Good luck with your recovery. I fell off my recumbent at speed a couple of years back. Because of the lower height I did not break my hip or femur. I was 66 at the time. I fear falling off my upright bikes because of the height but still ride them all the time. I hope you defeat the infection issues for good.

Visited the doctor last week and I got the ok to put more weight onto my leg, apparently it is healing. But no riding outdoors yet. I'm going to take it slow for now and maybe I will be walking normally in a couple of months. I can start riding outside when I am walking. So I guess I will be spending time on the trainer.

I got some shorts with hip protection in anticipation that the doctor will let me start riding outdoors after the next visit. I don’t like the chamois that is in these and will wear them over my bibs. I tried them for a 20 miles in the trainer, after a few miles I really didn’t notice the pads.

Doctor’s visit is in too weeks, I’m hopeful that I will be riding outdoors soon.
i went traveling last month, first time I have been able to do any real travel since this started.
We purchased a second home three months before the accident. I needed to get back to the old house to make sure that it is still standing. Also my kid moved to NYC, I wanted to see her apartment and she wanted me to put up some shelves.
We drove from Las Vegas to Omaha to Chicago to NYC and back.
The doctor warned me about blood clots and told me to take baby aspirin before my trip to prevent clots. I also have a pair of portable leg compression devices that I used in the car.

I'm so glad to hear of your progress. Healing completely is so important. Back to riding soon.

I am sure the doctor will let me start riding with the next visit in a week. I have a project bike that I am getting ready in anticipation of riding. I found a cheap specialized stumpjumper, I was all ready to convert it into a gravel bike, but then my brother-in-law donated a gravel bike to me, it was missing the drive train.
I got all the parts and put the Stumpjumper together with a 10 speed system. This should be good to start with.
I have the parts on order for the gravel bike and will ride that after I get some confidence. Then back to my road bikes

This will be the last update.
I'm healed. No restrictions. I went out riding today, 5 miles around the neighborhood.
Thanks for all the support, see you on the road.
