Hard to predict how any person will heal from a break and surgery. I was down for 6 weeks with a broken ankle/surgery. Major swelling. Because of the blood rush/gravity, it hurt like hell to lower my foot from the bed to the floor.
Are you having a lot of swelling? Bags of frozen peas placed around my ankle did wonders for pain and swelling. PT sounds like a good idea...when you are ready. My surgeon thought I should rehab myself but I asked for a professional to help. I was afraid I'd push too much or do something wrong. When I went to PT, the therapist just laughed and said something like surgeons feel it's all over if the X-Ray looks good. So..you might yet again advocate a bit for some help. On the other hand, my 74 y/o dad had a partial hip replacement and hardly noticed it. Damn him
