Good luck with the recovery - but definately take it easy! Feet/ankles do not heal quickly and are really easy to screw up. Expect a year before coming back up to 80%, 1.5 - 2 for 100% I know a few people who have had major feet/ankle surgey like that and this is what they've said.
The good news is that they all wondered what took them so long to pursue the solution. Good decision and speedy recovery!
