Ouch !! I ride for fitness but have recently been riding to work as well. But I bought a 29" mtb instead of using my road\race bike. Mainly because I can get off the road onto safer paths when it gets a bit dodgy with cars and lights etc. The road\race bike needs smooth surfaces and no puncture inducing debris. The mtb just climbs gutters and rough stuff with ease. It also has a few more (lower) gears but is very lightweight for it's size and type.
Glad you're on the mend and still looking to ride again. It can be a bit scary sometimes but I still enjoy it.
