At Home Finally!

Posted by bennet on May 13, 2009

Finally got back from the hospital after yesterday’s surgery.  Physio put me into an aircast with 2 heel inserts.  They want me to begin PWB but I still can’t get my heel down onto the heel inserts.  Trying to slowly stretch and put pressure down so my heel can rest on them but not sure if it’s mental or physical, but I feel like if I do, my Achilles Tendon would snap again.

I’m going to PT tomorrow and will see how far I get.  I’ve been crutching around with a very light step on the injured foot but wouldn’t called it PWB at this time.  Will keep trying and try and get to 20-30% by tomorrow.

    Was your injury a complete rupture or just a partial?
