Hey Carron,
Just checking in - I had bookmarked your page since we had surgery on the same day and was curious about how things are going to this point.
Hope progress is steady!

Hi there Carron
You sound in a very similar situation stage to me.
Just back from seeing my Specialist. Just over 2 weeks since my op ( but 4 weeks today since I ruptured). Had the stitches trimmed back and being put in a 3 wedge boot tomorrow. 
Have you gradually got to take out or adjust your foot angle then ? I was surprised but delighted when he wanted me in a boot after just 2 weeks since the op..!
Did you make any case for going any quicker or were they set in what they would do…?
Good luck with how you get on and keep me in touch with how you go….fear of weight bearing is my biggest worry.
David
I injured mine playing tennis two days after you, and we had surgery on the same day! Best of luck to you!

Sorry, I can’t seem to get to the 1st comment on your blog. Anyway, wishing you a speedy recovery. I tore mine playing tennis as well. How is your recovery going? You are still in a cast, correct?
