Jeez, all the best for recovery - that sounds awful. Don't even think about cycling for the moment! Recovery and rehab are the priorities.
Perhaps when fit again you can see how you feel, but from my non-hospitalised position I'd say don't write off cycling in your head, or force yourself to do it again if you don't want to.
Hopefully an insurance payout will get you a sweet new bike day/something else positive!

If the hex heads are accessible under the putty, you might well be able to undo the bolts with a decent impact driver (definitely not a single Allen key or a combi drill) but the expanding sleeves are underground forever. You'd need to get a new set of the bolts. For the hassle and cost I'd probably leave it in unless you're obliged to remove it, and fit a new one in your next place.
Edit: just seen that those exact Squire ones are quite pricey! New set of bolts to reinstall it then. M10 expanding hex bolts should be what you need.
