6 month update:
At times I thought this day would never come. 2 months since my last doctors visit. Went in today and had new x-rays taken. My doctor was very encouraged. In the side view he could hardly make out the fracture line since it had a good layer of new bone growth covering it. And I didn't have any surgery.
Prognosis was that I can now put full weight on it and start working on using no crutches. He cleared me to ride my bike and encouraged me to take walks, ride my bike, and walk up and down stairs to strengthen the leg. Of course I'm still a little timid with it since I've been hobbling around for so long.
Thanks for all the advice and encouragement. I did use some of the advise on stretching and doing light exercise. My achilles is still just a bit tight but I know it continue to loosen with more exercise.
I'm nervous and excited at the same time to get back on my bike. I think I'll start with an easy jaunt on Saturday morning before it gets hot or the streets get too busy.
