Three days, from Monday morning until Wednesday afternoon. Then at home the swelling and mobility got worse through the weekend, and it was very dark. Weeks from there got better.
Luckily, remember that super shower that was why we bought this house that I turned out to hate? It had a bench and shower, and a hand wand, and enough space for AG to easily be in as well. Very lucky.
Crutches... too clumsy for how I was. It was bad.

My wife has been begging me to find some KN95 masks for her old lady friends who are trapped in their houses. I came home just now with 14 N95s and she rejected them out of hand because there are words on the front.
Meanwhile I trim my full beard to look like a city guy's beard(Yuck!). AND shave it into a goattee(which I absolutely abhor)so my mask will seal.
Rant off, though I continue to steam.

I'm not sure you adductor will ever be 100%. It's weird, as even now, I struggle to tie my left shoe whilst sitting down. I blame it on age, as it gets better every year. The walking thing will just happen. One day, I realized I wasn't walking without a limp. Same with running. It'll come back, even though it's not at all important to me, but your case is certainly much different.
The shower seat we got was magic. Even now, I wish I were still using it.

I'm on the Brave browser. They tell me cookies are effectively blocked. Or rather that the digital me never appears the same, visit to visit. I just logged in again, btw. On another site I used to frequent, I had to verify my device each and every time I logged in. That right there is the reason I no longer go there.

They were going to turn me loose on Tuesday after checking in (?) Sunday night. Unfortunately, as I was on the walker Tuesday morning, heading to head, I fainted. That kept me in an extra day. I was already off the Dilaudid IV, which was key.

Went cat food shopping today. Pembroke Welsh Corgi named Oreo. 10 weeks old. What a sweetheart he is. He’ll grow into that big head.

Well, here's the money shot. The adductor is still weak but I still haven't gotten to PT; need to do that. Can ride the trainer for an hour-ish and Garmin reports calculated FTP of 95% previous. Walking still has a limp, though minor, unless I get tired or don't pay attention. Most life tasks are doable; no trouble or pain showering or getting in bed or the like, but anything like stepping in a patch of slick mud can still cause a sudden movement and sharp pain. Still can't run though, which is soul-crushing. A local 18k race was moved to COTA due to Covid, so AG did the three-lap version and I did the single, walking. Was not DFL. Nice to throw on a timing chip for the first time in over two years, pathetic as it felt to record a 15:30 pace. Oh and it was in the 20s with a roaring wind.
Same thing happened to another youngish guy I know, but he was an idiot and British and rode himself down to a state of emaciation, in which his bones were probably embrittled.

That there is exactly what scares me about riding a bike these days (other than a motor vehicle attack) and it happening to a youngster like you makes it scarier. Hope the issues all resolve with time.

my mom has it bad too. Thankfully she hasn’t fractured anything yet but I know her bone density is an issue.
I started drinking milk again about a year ago hoping that does something.

Yeah, I am a big believer in shock loading too, as in running down stairs. I don't think I have much of a genetic predisposition, but I weigh 140 lbs and tend sit around on my ass when I'm not on the bike, so I'm a set up. Gotta start the squats again, like coach @LAJ keeps telling me too.
squats and milk squats and milk repeat.
get you swole.
