It's definitely normal... after all, you fractured it and then didn't use your wrist for a couple of weeks.
Are you doing physical therapy? Just keep flexing the joint, don't let it stiffen up. If you feel you need extra support, I would go to the pharmacy and get a wrist brace. Take it easy, don't do any extreme roller skating or anything like that. Try to stay off the computer, too, since typing can aggravate the injury farther. Right now is the point where you are more likely to injure it again, since the muscles haven't been used as much so there isn't as much support as you need.
