broke fibula

I broke my fibula 3 weeks ago and my ankle is still swollen. Not as bad but is this normal? I did it playing hockey. How long before I can get back on skates. I have a twist break and am in a walking boot. Doesnt hurt alot, just swellled up esp. after being on it all day. Going insane as no summer hockey!!!
