Broken ankle recovery

I broke my ankle on 20th August. Taken by ambulance to A&E. It was also dislocated so the A&E team reset and plastered. Went in to outpatients and had to have it reset and plastered again twice. Got home and very painful. Slept a lot. 3 days after (today) my partner wants me to try using the crutches and go downstairs. I told him I'd rather wait until my next appointment (Thursday) and the advice of a doctor or physio. Any advice?
