91. Wishing you a full recovery! I had a tri fractured ankle back in 2012. I gope you've been seen by someone!...

I've had two major accidents. The above, and ripped rotator cuff muscles 20 yrs before the ankle.

When you are well enough to start rehab exercises my lived advice is do them like 96% - 97% of the time. So there's a little leeway when you absolutely don't want to do them. Otherwise do them steadily, completly, and you'll probably have good to excellent results.
I was 59 when this ankle thing happened. You'd never know I'd injured myself!
Good Luck!!!
