As someone who is still doing daily PT exercises, from a broken right pelvis last fall (no pun intended - hit by van but back on the bike), here's my get well list:

1. See a PT therapist and get a list O exercises
2. Do them religiously, even if: hurt/tired/happy/sad. Keep a record.
3. Add to the 'work level' when you can. For example do 10% more reps, longer stretches, etc. for each exercise
4. Stay as active as practical, even if not bike related. Can you use a spin bike?
5. If you can go to the gym, do upper body and core exercises.
6. Watch your weight! Don't ask me how I got so fat over the winter...

Keep the faith. walkers and crutches suck, but you will get better!

Oh, and treat yourself to a new bike
