Eh, George, give yourself a break!  You sound like you have a
significant ankle injury.  It may well take 6-12 weeks to heal. And
you may well need surgery.  A minor sprain may "bounce back" but a
tear of a ligament may well take a long time to heal.  If you are
really into sports, see your sports medicine physician......and take
his advice.
Good luck                              Len
