Day 15 - 5 seconds

5 seconds is how long I can stand on just the crutches.  Feet not touching the ground.

Air Crutch

I am looking forward to being able to walk without crutches, and I am still waiting to find out if I can get the iWalkFree crutch through my insurance.

I was able to get a shower chair through my insurance (I paid 20% of the cost of the chair). If your leg is in a cast, a shower chair is a must-have item. There were these benches that can be placed partially on the bathroom floor and partially in the bath tub. I wanted to get that, but my insurance wouldn’t cover it since it’s not technically a “shower chair”.

I have a follow-up appointment with the surgeon on Tuesday.

    I ruptured my right AT on 2-18-08 playing basketball, also ruptured my left AT 3 years ago almost to the date, again playing basketball (I could not believe it was happening to me again!). This is a horrible injury that requires a lot of patients, since your injury date is so close to mine, I’d like to track your progess to see how it compares to mine.

    Thanks for the post,
    Herb

    Hi Herb,

    Sorry to hear that you had the same injury on your other leg. I have a feeling that my currently healthy leg will probably suffer ATR some time down the line as I’ve had achilles tendonitis on both ankles for a few years.

    I am in the process of creating recovery progress tracker. This way, through your personal page on achillesblog.com, you can keep track of your recovery process, starting with entering your date of the injury and the surgery.
