If I can recover at the same rate you did, I'd be pleased. Very pleased.
As recovery goes: I just completed my first lap around the house on crutches. And, I took my first unassisted shower earlier this AM. The pain is falling off a little already and some strength seems to be returning. I think my leg will heel-up fine.
My doc emphasized not putting any weight on it for 4-6 weeks (as I recall). I believe it had something to do with not stressing the fracture as the blood supply tried to re-establish itself. It's been 4 years though, so I may not be remembering exactly. You may want to at least ask about this.
