Gosh, I am sorry to hear of this, Steve. Mobility is an important part of the human condition. Walkers and crutches are the new tools that you will need these next few weeks. Use them and do not put weight on your foot too soon.
Stay off your feet as much as possible. Keep your foot elevated and relax. Plus the ice and meds that others have mentioned. It won`t get better quicker by ignoring the need to stay immobile.
Good Luck!!!

Re: just broke my ankle :(
Sorry to hear that ankle injuries are the most annoying. Hopefully you didn`t burger it up too bad.

Re: just broke my ankle :(
Get better soon STEVE! Dont mix pain meds! Dont over or under medicate either. Crutches cost about $20 a pair. Rent on crutches for wife for a week was $7. Cheaper to own.

Man, sorry to hear that kind of news. Been there and I don`t envy your position. Worse yet, Pockets will have to be in charge of "the show".
