Sending massive healing vibes your way! I really hope you have a speedy recovery and are back in the saddle as soon as possible 
Saw this last night on FB, so sorry about the accident, hope your recovery is as quick and uncomplicated as possible.
Two years ago my husband fell off a cliff whilst climbing with the Marines, he had a catastrophic break, the first surgeon wanted to amputate his legHe came back from Cornwall sharpish and saw the ankle specialist at Addenbrookes who agreed that amputation would be a good option but he operated on it as Hubbie was fit/didn't smoke etc etc. He had months and months of physio/rehab and some very very low moments. He will never be able to run properly/play rugby again (luckily he is 36 so was nearing the end of his rugby career anyway) but, this summer he started playing cricket again and, if you didn't know what he'd done you would not pick out when he was walking that he'd done anything to his leg!
Anyway, just take from that story that almost anything is possible, listen to the medical experts, follow their advise but equally, remember, you are not like "everybody else" you can push yourself that little bit further (being sensible with it of course) to ensure that you recover as well as you can/are as mobile as you can be. I am quite convinced that there are many people around who, if they had broken their leg as my hubby had done would still be on crutches/using a walking stick even now.
