Thanks for the well wishes guys. Had an appointment with the surgeon on Monday and he is very happy with my recovery and yes, I was able to get down to my hobby room and get some work done on my model.
It sure felt good like driving again. My daughter had to cart me around the first week and a half and I know she probably got tired of it but she never said a thing. At this point I think I'm on the road to recovery although I still can't negotiate the basement steps so I got resourceful and went in through the garage. Goes to show there is more than one way to skin a cat when you want to do something!
