YIKES!
I had a hamstring debridement and repair- not the "full monty" that you had.
This might seem counterintuitive BUT, is there a reason why you cannot stay on one floor of the house? It seems very challenging to navigate the stairs!
I had a single anchor and did not need the brace and was moving at six weeks. NO crutches and the walker was minimal.
Hopefully you get full heal and get on those legs actively!

I can stay on one level inside the house. It is getting out of the house is the issue.
There is one significant step to go down into the entryway. I am going to set an armless chair at the tread and then step down with the crutches from that.
My husband has mild cognitive impairment with early onset Alzheimers and he gets anxious easily. A friend is going to stop by foe my first try at getting out of the house. I have help until Sat(day 7 post op) and will assess if I need to call our local aging advocacy center.l early next week.
Thank you for your support and positive thoughts.
