Better late than never . . .

I’ve been meaning to join the blog experience for a while now, experienced a complete ATR on 5/10/15 and I’m just now getting started. So I guess we’ve got a lot of catching up to do! As I progress and get up to speed on my recovery, I just wanted to throw out a message for anyone who has just experienced an achilles injury. That message is “hope.”
While I still have quite a journey left in my recovery, I still have confidence that not all is lost. After my injury, so much of what I read concerning ATR surgery and rehab were absolute horror stories. One month out from surgery and I’ve had good days and bad days, been relaxed and impatient, and have made gains and had setbacks. Ive run the gauntlet of emotions, from feeling angry and depressed, to feeling positive and motivated about getting healthy again.
Maybe you have just injured your achilles, maybe you’re well into recovery or its a thing in your past. The point is, you’re not alone. Everyone here, on some plane or another, can relate to you and offer sage advice. Remember that a journey of a thousand miles starts with one single step . . .
