Anyone who has ever broken ankle/leg - what happens when you weight bear again?

[GColdtimer]

I dislocated and broke my ankle on boxing day. I needed surgery and have a plate and pins. I have a removable cast so have been doing physio so have quite a lot of movement but whenI put my foot to the floor it feels really strange. Have 6 week check next week and my physio is conviced they will let me weight bear, but how much will I actually be able to do. I have visions of everything being back to normal straight away, but I am kidding myself aren't I@

Can anyone help?

just to update you, I am weight bearing again. i saw the consultant yesterday and he doesn't want to see me again as I am healed from a surgical point of view. I also saw the physio and am down to one crutch now. Its painful but at least I am walking again. Life is already so much easier.
