nevermind difficult to walk... there will be swelling, even that many days after the fact. You will want to keep it elevated & iced... in between warm, then more ice. I'm sure you know the routine.
Thing is, being vertical for as many hours in a row as a Con requires means more blood in the foot, more swelling, more pain... eventually it will begin to throb because you won't be able to resist thoughtlessly putting weight on it (crutches are annoying at the BEST of times). And since you won't even have the support of some high-quality medical grade painkillers, it will truly suck.
If its that badly messed up you may want to stay home. Or break down & get one of those wheely chairs... just carry your crutches & have a very obviously bandaged/strapped up foot so its obviously a battle-wound. Then you can wheel around & hit people with your crutches if they can't get out of the way of the injured person...
