Ankle injury - osteochondral defect of talar dome and micro-fracture surgery. Anyone similar injuries / recoveries?

I fell in the gym back in October '14 from the top of a 17' problem, so my feet were approximately 11' off the ground. Got a really bad inversion sprain that just didnt heal. Finally got an MRI in December which uncovered a 5mm oblong 'deep bruise' on the outside of the talar dome. Apparently the force+sprain created a shearing effect that took off cartilage and bruised/killed the bone. Cartilage is avascular, so the injury doesn't really heal. And while I could walk, I couldn't run and definitely couldn't climb. Opted for micro fracture surgery earlier this month to go in and try and clean up the scar tissue and promote healing to the cartilage and bone. I'm 3 weeks into recovery, still completely non weight bearing for another week, an trying to stay optimistic, but something still doesn't feel right. I can't flex the foot up very well without a great deal of stiffness and pain (imagine the bending down motion before you jump - or important here when you land and flex forward). I'm 30 yo and worried I may not be able to boulder ever again and it's terrifying and sad and scary. Climbing was the one hobby I've found as an adult that keeps me level and fresh and motivated and sane.

Anyone else out there with a similar injury, or just a bad injury that took a lot of time to get over that can share some wisdom? Even if your injury changed how you climbed, how did you get through the times that felt hopeless? I've blown pulleys, torn laborums, and had a number of injuries that sucked, but none that scared me like this. Cheers.
