Yeah it sounds fine.
The strength workout alternating with aero has become standard over the last few years.
There's only two points that I'd add. The first is that many beginners to strength training spend too much time on arms and calves. I'd not throw away the machine right away. But... later, with some instructor assistance - you might want to transition to doing more free-weight work. When you do that, you'll not need to work arms so much, they'll develop anyway (from benchpress, rows, and so on).
The second concerns ankles. I've had ankle probs once. Yours seem to be holding up ok. If they do give problems - you can try some balance exercises. The simplest is to balance on one leg a few minutes at a time, with your eyes shut. (I used to set the microwave timer for this). At first it's easy, but after a few minutes the ankles really start working. Try it for 3 minutes, you'll see what I mean.
It seems that most ankle rehab recipients do this exercise, or similar on a small balance platform (or inflated disc).
If you do balance exercises though, make sure you're in a safe spot first eh. You've been warned.. Don't have hot cooking nearby, or anything sharp.
