Hi, it appears that you have multiple fractures and surgeries, as your doctor says near normal after surgery is a great thing. After completion of the bed rest, you will be asked to walk slowly, for short distaces like 10 feet every time.
You may need to have physiotherapy, for some sittings.
Over all you may have to bear 4 days with the pain to initiate walking. and 10 days for regular walk with support. Thank you.
