Don't find it a problem and I've rode many miles on SPD's.
Hope you GWS @Appitite4destruction
With confidence and perseverance SPD's and the like can be as natural using as riding a fixie...and I ride a fixie using SPD's also.

enjoy the forums. A tip for you, if using spd's back the tension off completely using the adjusting screw and then only clip in your right foot until you feel confident enough to clip in both feet. I only clip in one foot if in busy stop start traffic, just makes life a bit easier.

How long for recovery is like a piece of string. Until you can bear weight on it I'd say. Sometimes cycling is actually easier than walking.

sounds like good progress, I would just avoid any hills as that will require you to put pressure on that foot / ankle.
