Q: Broken fibula- deep water exercise

I broke my fibula last week and am in an air cast. The doctor mentioned that I could get into the pool in 2-3 weeks, wearing a boyancy belt for a light workout.
Isn't this a bit too soon to be exercing. The break was a simple horizontal fracture, without and tissue damage to my left ankle..

Thanks,
Mamafishy

I would think that if he said this that he would know...Nowadays the recovery antics are much more ambition than they used to be years ago...Good luck...
