Take calcium supplements and drink milk for the next two months.
After three weeks, then do what couple of these guys are suggesting, and wrap your ankle to begin cycling once again.
PS.
Until then, try to keep weight off of your entire right leg. The ankle of course, is included.

I agree that a cane
used properly (the cane
must be in the hand opposite the weak leg to spread the weight off of the weak leg) will help a lot. That and a
good ankle brace from your local drug store will help you heal faster.
