broken distal fibula

had a broken distal fibula and i just got my cast off (feb. 10, 2006). i'm wondering what it should look like, mines still a little swollen on top of the foot and a little around the inside of the ankle, and what the process and timeline for a full recovery. should i have full range of motion? how much weight should i be putting on it? any advice would be appreciated as i'm a college student that is trying to recover without paying any cash. oh! i did wait the proper time (8 weeks) to remove the cast.
