Broken fibula dislocated ankle
Almost four weeks ago I slipped, breaking my fibula, displacing or breaking another part of a bone and dislocated my ankle.
The next day I had a plate installed but due to swelling and developing blisters couldn't get the screw put in on my inner ankle until two weeks later.
I called a physio place today to see if there was anything we could start doing together now that would help once the cast/boot is off. The nice lady said there wouldn't be. She said that the hardest part of my recovery will be the fact I'd dislocated my ankle. As she was giving free advice and didn't want to see me before cast was off, I didn't want to pry further. I've been looking online quite a bit since and don't think I'm any wiser. I'd really appreciate your thoughts.
Unfortunately, I don't have a copy of my x-rays... But I do have some of my recovery!

In addition to the above, any indication of what I can expect in terms of recovery would be greatly appreciated. I've been told PT is the most important part of this process... And key to recovery.
Thank you,
