If you live alone, make sure you have a decent backpack around to be able to carry stuff while walking with crutches.
The opposite side of your tear will be overcompensating - not just during the 6 months of recovery, but for years after. Be sure to stretch, get massage, anything you can do to lessen the impacts.

good points. you can use a cheap plastic chair from an asian store and a tub will be easier to manage than a shower.
if you want to save some $$$, instead of the crutch cover, i used old crew socks and just tied a few around the top of the crutches.
