Sorry to hear about your crash, dalai. But. as Eric says, "always look on the bright side of life":

"85%" sounds like you're still working towards something approaching 100%.
Here's hoping that you are at least finding interesting challenges where you "can keep most of the weight" on your feet.
Mind you, it doesn't mean that you need to climb at the lower grades. There is always the Hall of Mirrors ...

All the best in your continuing recovery.
