ACHILLES TENDON TEAR,REPAIR AND RECOVERY

 Well on Friday I had my second Dr. visit. Once again they took off the cast to look at the sutures. The Dr. said they were ready to come out. It felt good just to get air on the leg. I wished they would have   someone there to wash your leg. The sutures were removed, and steri-strips were put on. I didn’t realize I had a T shape cut. That’s because of the reattachment back to the heel. The Dr said I will be in this cast for two weeks with the foot still pointing down. My next visit he may put me in a dial-up walking boot, still with NWB, foot pointing down. I guess my recovery will be a little slower than most. Seems like everyone else had at least PWB by the fourth week. I am getting around pretty good with the knee walker. I think the front wheels should be able to turn better, but it gets the job done.
