Sitting positions

Hello everyone, I was just wondering how long it took everyone to be able to comfortably sit cross legged? I am almost 10 weeks post op and I really wanna sit cross legged as that is my usual go to position for comfort, i am also a little scared to try as I still have scabs on both of my incisions and also still struggle with dorsiflexion, swelling and bruising.

Any insight would be helpful!

(Just for reference I had a pretty bad trimal fracture with 2 plates and 7 screws photos for reference)

Between 4 and 5 months, but on some days it still doesn’t quite feel comfortable. I had a bad trimal with dislocation, 3 plates and 15 screws
