One month from surgery

Hi! I am one month from surgery - I had surgery on my right achilles after trying for six months to avoid with therapy, boot etc. Surgery was a relief as was finding the wealth of knowledge on this blog. Pain had been minimal ( compared to before surgery) until I had a fall from my knee scooter last week - I broke the big toe on my repaired foot and am hoping that is all the damage that has been done. I am feeling more twinges etc in my ankle area but maybe that is healing? Initially I was in a splint and I have been in a cast for two weeks - it comes off Jan 2 - damage will be evaluated then. I will be in a boot for a while after cast removal and with wedges- right now my foot is casted with four wedges. Trying to rest as much as possible but getting restless.
