I spent the spring and summer of 2008 in a similar situation, but not quite as bad.
It really sucks to be hobbling about.
I found a thing called a Knee Walker, see:

Your DR. might suggest one.
If so, get the "all terrain" version with the big wheels.
Although it sounds all "Rubicon", it is really the minimum you will want for just everyday moving about.
Your insurance should pay for it with the DR. prescription.
I just couldn't get used to the pain and instability of crutches, and the Knee Walker was a breeze to use.
In any case .... I wish you a speedy, full recovery ............ and a gentle physical therapy technician!! (donuts and coffee seem to help keep their "enthusiasm" in check)

Dr said if all goes as planned the left leg should be 100% when all the therapy is done. I'm more worried about the right leg. The car actually made hard contact on that leg and they haven't been able to do MRI on it because of the halo on the left leg. They did cat scan in the emergency room the night of accident and it didn't show any broken bones but it is still a little painfull so there might be some damage that only MRI will show.
