@jenniferhunter Glad to hear you are getting better and are making progress with what you can do . Just don't push it but you know that . When the cast comes off finally it will feel good to get into shoes but probably will hurt for a while and you will know doubt get arthritis in that ankle as time goes on . Ice is a great friend so don't be afraid to use it when needed ,15 min. on then heat as this brings the blood to the surface and promotes healing . I use this all the time for my breaks I had and still do at times.
