Good to hear your progress. It is a reminder that we will both get thru this! I hope you continue to improve quickly.
I am still struggling with my brace, it is a DonJoy Excyabir brace. Even more uncomfortable than what the ER put on. Hopefully it is doing its job, and we have it adjusted properly.
Several years ago I burst a L1 vertebrae in my by falling off an laddago, but I feel this injury has been more disabling. Otherwise, I took my good health for granted, which I will not do again.

Meant to say falling off ladder.
Once again, thank you for your comments and support!

It looks like your new brace allows for weight bearing with both feet on the ground. The hip range of motion will take some time to get used to. My PT did a better job adjusting my brace than the surgeons office.
The goal is to not put any pressure on yiur hamstrings at all.
You will get through the recovery process and will be surprise how strong mentally and physically you are.
Keep resting, icing and taking care of yourself.
