Well, the meds appear to be working.
That's a nasty little fracture you've got there, how's the bike?

Technically, that's a broken leg rather than ankle.
And it's not "just" broken, it's really quite badly broken.
Make sure you do your physio, do all your physio and do it regularly, even if it hurts like fuck. If they haven't given you any to do, ask if they think they should.
I had a very similar fracture of my arm/wrist and didn't get/do physio properly and now I have 10% reduced range of movement in all directions. Hurts in the cold and damp, always will but physio wouldn't have fixed that.
Start watching balance boards on ebay for a bargain. You're going to need one in about 6-8 weeks.
So. Why you crash. Target fixation? ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

GWS op, well done on not getting splattered across the North Circ or mowed down by a Winnie.
More impressive than how I had a similarly (but not quite so bad as yours) broken ankle.
I got mine stepping over a very large sleeping dog (Newfoundland) on my way to the toilet and just put my
foot down funny trying not to step on the furry behemoth laid right across the doorway. Click. Ow! Fack!
I did that on a Friday evening and was convinced I'd only sprained it although it hurt like fuckitty fuck,
my whole foot and most of my calf was a nice plum purple after an hour or so and I went into shock a
bit and did a little shivering. I actually did it at a mates house during a lads night in, drove home on it the
next day because I was too stoned (and in pain) to drive home that night. Pressing the brake pedal in the
car was excruciating! Limped about on it all day Saturday and after a sleepless night because agony I eventually
went to hospital on the Sunday morning. Where I then learned it was broken. = 3 months in plaster.
Not cool, was a self employed van courier at the time. No sick pay.
Absolutely no weight on it allowed for the entire 3 months or it would have needed pins and plates.
I still have problems with mine when it's cold as well. I'm sure mine didn't heal right either. Didn't get
offered any physio except one short session when the cast came off. I get fewer issues if I wear ankle
high work boots all the time, they support it and keep it warm but my break was a little lower down than that. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

Sorry to hear that, I hate any legs/feet related injuries. I had to use crutches for nearly 3 months, when I ripped some meat off from my leg. Lucky for you, bones heal rather quickly, unlike damaged/missing tissue.
Time for some painkillers and crap loads of Tv, oh and get well soon, mate.  ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

Inb4 buy some proper boots.
That break may well have been less severe if you had. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

If you had proper boots, this might wouldn't have happened, since the boot won't let the foot go sideways nor twist it at all.
I went down on my mate's MZ, wearing boots and motorcycle trousers with the knee protection and the only injuries were bruises and a bit swollen knee, that got alright in a week. Looking at your scooter I can tell, you were not going that fast. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ
