Thanks for asking. Eight weeks in a hard cast with no weight-bearing, it takes that long for the bones to knit together. I'll do what I can in the gym: upper body, off leg, and whatever I can do along the lines of leg lifts, cable flies with an ankle cuff, crunches, and machines like hamstring curls.

After that, several weeks in a boot with gradual weight-bearing and exercise. I asked about PT sessions and it's not like re-hab of a knee or shoulder where you're restoring range of motion because there is no range of motion. So it's mostly just strengthening, balance, and all that. I'll need to work on cardio too, stationary bike and stairs if I can. Supposed to be about 8 months until you're back at 100%. Just in time for hunting season. grin
