What Is The Recovery Time To Heal Cut With Stitches After Injury?

Friday a railroad tie feel on my foot. They said it was not broken, but it had a severe cut that took eight stitches. I get the stitches out Monday. I am on antibotics. I am keeping it elevated, but everytime I get on my crutches to do any thing it hurts really bad. How long should it take to heal? I thought since it wasn t broken and the stitches are coming out Monday, I would be doing better by now.
