Still around, also recovering from torn ligaments in my ankle... six months now since I fell out a wall, bouldering, and still not OK. Plus two minor accidents. Waiting for the doctor's OK now before hitting the gym again... next week, if all goes well.
My plan to strengthen the ankle and calf is to do a lot of step-ups, front and side. While holding on to something for the beginning. Also, goblet squats. And raising myself up on my toes (can't manage tiptoes yet, range of motion not there). However, right now with the snow and the cold, walking is not going too well.
Can you identify what the missing muscle does by getting it to work on the other leg? I think it might be the one that lets you lift your front foot when your heel is on the floor. Whatever it is that makes that muscle work on the good side, try it on the bad one.
