Hi Moodymare88, really sorry to read about your injury.
Once you're allowed to move but not weight-bear, you might want to hire or buy a kneeling ride-on strider scooter. My husband used one when he had Achilles tendon issues and used it indoors and outdoors, zipping along the pavement to get on buses to go to town or to hospital appointments, etc. You need to be able to kneel on it with the injured leg. No weight is taken by the ankle or foot or lower leg. It gives you far more mobility and independence than a pair of crutches or a wheelchair. It works off-road too on level grass if you were going to Burghley as a spectator. Hope you heal proper and soon. Handy basket at front for anything you need too.

This is so tough for you, and I’m sorry to hear it. My daughter did this about 15 years ago, she fell off and landed on her feet with a resounding crack. The only thing I have to add is that she found her screws through her ankle terribly painful and they continued to be irksome, so she had them removed after a year. Which the NHS did. She has retained a small rod on the side of the leg/ankle. Her muscles did waste a bit so it was lots of physio, as others have advised. Good luck going forward.
