WoW this sucks
the best thing about this injury is the handicap parking sticker, the sympathy from girls, and the workout from crutches otherwise this injury sucks I miss soccer , hunting , hiking, just plain walking
I am 5 wks after surgery in a walking boot putting a little weight on it but not much getting up and getting going seems to be the hardest part I go into the doctor next week to see if I can start rehab alot has atrophied and needs stretching. when I can start walking in shoes will be a happy day.
I have to say the surgeon was great but the post care has been like customer service at walmart, not very good, the place has alot of patients and I went through an 8 part menu to leave a message about my scab
oh well at least the walking boot makes me look like a storm trooper lol
Curtis,
I’ve found the cast and boot excellent conversation openers - you’ve got to be careful though that you don’t then become an achilles bore, there’s only so much that non ATR’ers can take!!

“Wow this sucks”. That about sums it up. 3 weeks post injury and already tired of it. I’m glad to know it gets easier ….
