Your scar looks much better than mine. Are you in a boot yet? I have been in a boot for a week now and have started PT. The progress is slow but at least I feel I am doing something to assist in my recovery. Keep me posted on your AT journey.
No boot yet. Not officially anyway. See my post on the main page (Week 8). Later today I see the doc so maybe then. I’ll see what happens. Happy recovery.

hey hoss,
this site is for people who’ve injured / torn achilles. an over zealous mosquito down your sock doesn’t count.
seriously though, great healing, you’d hardly know. i think now the hard work begins. (what? crutches aren’t hard work?) keep us posted on your pt protocol, i’m about 2wks behind you and will follow your recovery with interest.
safe healing,
offdibb

hoss ,
looking good huh . looks ike 10 degrees off to 90 at least ?
good luck with the appointment .
Hey offdibb,
I marvel about the job the surgeon did. I wish I had a video of it. I’ve been searching for another person who had a surgery like me but no luck so far. With all the different protocols out there, I’ll be watching you too. I’m sure we will be doing a lot of the same stuff and maybe I will borrow some the things you will be doing.
screwdriver,
yes, close to 90 degrees. but I was just laying it there for the picture. I can go a little past 90 right now, but the achilles is tight and I am not going to push it too hard. I’m waiting for instructions from the doc and physio.
