Doc put me in a walking boot last week.  I can now do full weight bearing with the boot on.  I have been walking around in the house like Peg Leg Pete.  My ankle is weak and muscles are sore, some soreness in my heel also.  It hurts but I do my best.  I return to the Doc on April 22.  Most likely to do away with the boot if all is well.

Hang-in there!  Me and Brody are sending you positive thoughts and doggie kisses!  So whenever you're hurting he's there in spirit supporting you.

Sounds like you are progressing well.  After they take the boot off, they'll probably order PT to strengthen your muscles.  Then it's back to normal.

Thanks for the update...........sounds like you are doing well.  Healing is frustrating at times........

@Imaoldhippie So sorry you are going through this!

Keep walking as much as your doctor allows.

When I broke my foot I was instructed to keep walking to increase circulation for healing. 

You'll be as good as new in no time if you continue to be "a good little patient!"

Wonderful to be back on both feet and have hands free again isn't it!  Keep at it, you are winning.

@Imaoldhippie --yes--the boot!!! I was in one too for several weeks, but the best thing is that you can take it off!! I was told to do some exercises by my ortho dr--not gnarly ones, just gentle movements--he said try to do the alphabet with your toe--then got p/t which I highly recommend.
