I think the goal is to be able to walk a mile within 6 weeks. It will mostly be circling my house, with laps on my driveway following that.

You don't think about body mechanics that often but, even turning, I have to sort of do a Frankenstein shuffle because no twisting.

I did read that there is a commonly used dressing that can be worn for 7 days unless there's bad drainage. I don't know if Dr. Melisi uses them but sure hope so. That would mostly eliminate the need for Bill to do dressing changes.
