Hi Yamal, hang in there! What might help even though you are NWB is to exercise a little. With turning your ankle in and outside and flex and point your foot you strengthen muscles and improve your circulation. I had a fracture type 6 like you, not as many complications though and am now 5 month post op. When i was NWB i did a lot of little workouts which help against swelling of foot and leg later when you can put weight on your foot again.
It is a very very personal experience and humbling as well as you mentioned.
Take care and keep up the spirit!
