I broke my left ankle a few years ago. Had to be non-weight bearing for 8 weeks. Had to keep elevated. I devised a foot stool and pillow for the left....and "pedal to the metal" with the right. I had to stay at my parents house, so one day my sister took me to my house, I maneuvered up a step with the help of a stool. Got some of my UFO's, gather up all my quilting supplies and sewing machine. I completed 3 full size quilts in that time. I don't know what I would have done without my Bernie and computer.
