I did the same thing on November 6th. Ortho gave me the option of trying the boot in lieu of surgery. Had to sleep in the damn thing until December 12th when they let me trade the crutches for a cane and put some weight on the boot (x rays showed good alignment and healing). I go back next Thursday to see if I can get rid of the boot.
I'm 66 so you should have a much quicker recovery.
Netflix is a great distraction. Catch up on movies or entire TV series. House of Cards is good for a day or so. I spend too many hours on the internet becoming an expert in everything, but it helps prevent boredom. I also loaded up the Kindle and have read a bunch of books.
Ice and elevation are your friends.
I hope all goes well.
