Starting to walk without crutches!!!
Posted on November 19th, 2011 by erdnerd
I can’t thank all of you on this site for helping me through this trying time. I seriously appreciate all of the supportive emails, and comments and advice. I am still in the boot, 2 wedges still but I am starting to be able to walk with out crutches. I haven’t really felt my foot or Achilles except at PT, I guess that’s a good thing? I am hoping to begin to bear some weight on the foot next week. I am really nervous as my tendon is still really tight and causing a little pain in the arch area of my foot.
I hope all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

FWIW, my surgeon told me he once saw 4 ATR’s in the same day. It was a Thanksgiving day, and they were all injures from turkey-day backyard football games.
His takeaway: never play football on Thanksgiving
Tell your relatives to be careful out there.
