OK, so my dr. told me I could go to PWB tomorrow, but I decided I was ready to jump the gun and started tonight. I wanted to get in some practice before having to really use it tomorrow. I’m basically back at work in the office every day, though I am on slightly reduced [...]

Yesterday was not one of my better days. So, after my fall last week, I was extremely nervous about my appointment this week with my OS. I knew my foot was bruised and all I could imagine was that I did real damage. I took it extremely easy this week, keeping my foot elevated as [...]

Surgery was scheduled for June 20th. This was now 14 days after the tear. After learning that it was torn, I talked to my work and coordinated my working from home for some time. Although I could move and get around, it wasn’t very easy and living in NYC, was difficult managing the subways. Stairs [...]

Starting my blog a bit late so I’m using this one to catch up on what happened. I tore my Achilles tendon on June 6th while vacationing with my husband in Vietnam. We were down in the Mekong Delta and I was attempting to step up and into a boat. I had my right leg [...]
