Haven’t posted in a while because life has pretty much returned back to normal. 3 weeks ago my doc told me no more PT was necessary. I was getting strong and told me to just do whatever exercises I wanted on my own. I was back to running when I went and saw him, and starting to get into longer distances. He told me to come back in March and most likely he will clear me to return back to baseball.
My calf is getting stronger. It is definitely a lot more solid than it was a few weeks ago. It is slowing growing, but the firmness has returned sooner than I thought. I try to do calf raises whenever I am just standing around at work or home. I can get a little off the ground now on the single calf raise. Hopefully in the next few months I will be able to do one.
Tried to jump the other day. Felt a little wierd and great all at the same time. Hadn’t been off the ground since the moment i jumped and my Achilles rupture over the summer.
Little league season will be starting soon and I can’t wait to get out and coach. Life is good right now. For all those who are just starting the journey, hang in there. It gets better. 4.5 months a go I was a sulking bump on a log just wasting away. The turning point is getting your boot and trying to get to full weight bearing. Once you do that, things will make a turn for you.
Good luck all and Happy New Year.
