I dont know if it helps or hurts but ...It took my sister almost 2 years after a bad sprain (with physical therapy) before her ankle recovered (maybe another year of swelling after things like flying). I had a minor sprain and it took almost a year.
Ankles are just annoying creatured
Hope you feel better - sounds like things are getting pretty calm, happy and stable and the job is going well.
Good job on the gym - thats on my list but I havent had the energy (which is counterproductive since I have more energy when I exercise - go figure)
