Healing time/Cast questions--oblique fracture w/ ORIF

I had ORIF for an oblique fracture of the...well, in my ankle, a little over 2 weeks ago. After a week plus with a splint and bandage I now have a cast. I have a couple questions:
For anyone who has had ORIF, what's the healing time for the surgery and the fracture?
I couldn't feel my toes for a couple days, not very well anyway, so the doctor split my cast down the middle to allow them to breathe. I think it may also be related to snow exposure. Suggestions for keeping my ankle stable in the cast?
Thanks much!
