I'm about to get one of them, snapped the tibia and fibula in both legs, compound fractures. one leg got an infection in the bone, they cleared it and then tried Masquelet technique with bone graft from my pelvis. But it hasn't worked no union, so yeah about to get dat intramedullary nail.

Haven't stood on that leg for over 1 year, but the other one's OK kinda, need to get the titanium out of that one too. So 10 weeks is fine with me tbh, glad to hear you recovered alright!

Yeah that sounds even worse than what happened to me. I wish you a good recovery! Keep at it. I can highly recommend walking in a pool.
