Kevin,
Since we know nothing of details in your particular injury I couldn't begin to guess how your recovery outcome will turn out.
However, be assured that most patients get a good deal (and some get all) of their old ankle back.
The golden key to a successful outcome, in my opinion, is a rigorous regimen of physiotherapy (ankle exercises plus work on proprioception and healthy walking gait).
I believe such rehab work has to be ongoing to ensure a lasting improvement-- forget the idea that you did a few physiotherapy sessions and now you are over and done with it.
If one is financially crimped and can not afford a professional therapist then there are a lot of DIY resources online to guide you along the way.
Good luck.
