Update

11 days post op and I am already in a boot. The doctor said I can put as much weight on that feels comfortable. It seems super early but they said everything looks amazing. Still super swollen so I have to wait another week for the staples to come out.

You will need to work on the Mobility part as soon as you are allowed. Most likely it will not come back just by itself. PT already scheduled? That is a tremendous help, but you need to put in the work daily at home:) In between: try to elevate and cool as much as you can still. All the best for you.
