Hope the diagnosis is better and not worse than it looks.
I once fell from 13 feet or more and tried to land on my feet but landed on one leg. My foot looked like yours and I was on crutches for 6 months. To my surprise the doc said I might have healed faster if I would have broken it. (WTF?) The landing and the shock really did a job on me.
thanks everybody for all the kindness and support I'm at prompt care now waiting to see the doctor

Ouch! I messed up my ankle a year or so ago, and it looked really bad. Luckily it wasn't broken, but it sure was a pain for a while.
What happened?
Also get to the hospital and have it X-Rayed. There are some breaks that require medical intervention. (Even broken toes).
Dang...
When I broke my baby toe I had blood red bruising - really vivid. But the second time I bent it - it bruised in the exact same way and didn't break.
So you can't go by that.
