Hate to tell you this, but you are in for a long haul. Bones normally flex but metal does not. So as you exercise, the bone will pull on those lovely titanium screws. You'll also need to do a lot of physical therapy after the cast comes off. And the next thing you may find is that if you put enough torque on your leg to break your bone, you may have also damaged your knee. But that won't start to hurt until after the cast is off, Phys Therapy is well underway, and you using your knee again. You may find that you get enough discomfort from all that hardware that you'll want to get it taken out in about a year...a minor surgery - they make a small incision where the scar was, and use a sterile phillips screwdriver to back out the screws, pop off the steel plate, and sew you up. Takes 15 min. I've been going through all this for the last 15 months. Enjoy the adventure, and toughen up bucky, don't take too many of those pills.
EDIT: Oh yes, since they will probably put you in a non-weight bearing cast, you might look into getting one of these. Much better than crutches!
