I tried and drove my pregnant wife’s today. Just a small ride around the neighborhood and the only discomfort was at the front top of my foot. The pain was probably from me where high boots and slight tightening on my foot. I mention my wife is 34 weeks pregnant which added to my motivation to start driving. Her truck is automatic which musy have made it easier.

Now that I can walk indoors, my next question and step is to drive and walk outdoors with two shoes.

Summary

I am a 38 yr old male who ruputured his right achilles on December 1, 2011 playing recreational ball hockey with friends. It was the last game of the season with 10 minutes left in a 2 hr game which I have have been playing for the last 4 years averaging 35 games a year.

I got operated on December 5, 2011 and was put in a cast (until the knee) for 8 days when I was fitted with removable air boot and given a physiotherapy appointment for a week later. I have been to 3 pt appointments and on january 10, 2012 I met with the surgeon who said I can start walking in the house without the boot during the week on Jan 16 which I have started.

After just 6 weeks post-operation I am walking without crutches, boots or canes and going up and down stairs. I would like to know if others are experiencing anything like this type of recovery.

To finalize I would like to add I did my pt reliogiously at home and was not working.

I am slowly walking in the house without airboot or crutches just 6 weeks post - operation.Anyone else share quick recovery, thanks.
