I have it! While you're practicing that self-visualization, you need a purring cat in your lap. Since cats tend to purr any time they're in a lap, the main task here is to locate said-cat if you don't have one already. I bet someone would be willing to loan you a therapy cat.

Good luck--it's good there is a the surgical option if needed, but clearly it isn't the most desirable option if you can heal on your own. When I had a broken leg as a child my mother fed me lots of figs and Fig Newtons. They're apparently very high in calcium. Watch your diet, look for that tea, and approach the bone mending from as many angles as possible.
