When did you start PT?

Some context, I had a bimalleolar ankle fracture-dislocation with a syndesmosis injury. 5 weeks post op. Got my boot 1.5 weeks ago. Since then I've focused on gentle ROM since getting my boot. Im supposed to start weight bearing at 6 weeks.

I don't have anyone that will be able to take me to appointments right now so I'll have to uber myself and I'm terrified. I'm ridiculously clumsy on crutches and had a fall last week. I was hoping to get more comfortable on my feet first and then take myself there and I'm hoping that will be doable by week 7.

Am I screwing myself by not going right away?
