Hobbled around barely able to take the two steps up to my front door the last couple days lol. It still hurts today but it’s tolerable. Is it safe to work out?

I would focus on lower weight and cardio. Get the blood pumping, maybe hit an exercise bike for a bit and see how you feel. If you still have gas in the tank and your soreness alleviates then hit some light weights.

This is what I ended up doing and my pain is actually less now, I feel so much better lol. I was in hell for 2 days
