Suggest Opinion About Walking After Surgery On Leg Bones

I am fifty-eight. I my right foot slipped and while troying to hold myself not to fall, my weight (127 kg) put high pressure on my left leg and had to break my leg (two bones) over my ankle. I had an operation 20 days back and I am at home now weight to recover. My doctor stated that the cast will be removed in 50 days from the date of operation and will take around three months to recover. Due to my weight difficulties to move and using a wheelchair. I see it too difficult to use crutches but a bit comfortable with walkers. What are your advices? Since the wound due to the surgery has healed, the doctor stopped all type of medication.
