I am broken! No secret my hip is FUBAR and my because of that my lower abs are a cluster F. I have been in a slump and I hate the gym right now. For the past 3 years I have walked into the gym knowing what I wanted to do and did it. I have been hurt before but not like this. I can’t do any of the things I love to do so I fake it. I try to lift like a jimmy but I can’t. I need something to get me motivated and I can’t find it. I have not crossfit’ed legitimately in months now and it kills me. I have not ran, biked or swam consistently or with any duration since my race and I am getting a little aggravated. I have decided to start swimming. I figure I can mix it up between short high intensity and long low intensity to give me some semblance of what I had before and hopefully soon be able to get back to pull-ups and thrusters. I hope I can kick in the pool but if not I have a pull buoy I can use so it’s all upper body. Wish me luck because if I don’t get some of this tension out soon I may kill someone.

Keep your head up, brah. Crossfit Games 2009 are still a ways off. It sucks because you know exactly how much effort is required to come off of an injury. I think when you come back, you'll see this as a blessing in disguise. You'll be able to build yourself back up in ways you wouldn't have before.
Don't look at this down time as time lost. Use this injury time to try and build up other areas. Work on dead hang or weighted pullups. Work on shoulder presses. Do yoga and pilates. Work on your flexibility. And like you said, maintain your cardio fitness with swimming.
But whatever you do, don't feel sorry for yourself. Be brutally honest and assess your strengths and weaknesses and look at how you're gonna improve. You get to build your foundation back up. Make it rock solid.
while phil has the nice way of helping u out...i really just hope u get better cause you will kill people..i've seen it :)
