Almost at the finish line in my personal achilles marathon. My haglund’s surgery was 11/20/13.
Even in the past month or two, I am still noticing small improvements. Just a general normalizing of how my foot feels - fewer episodes of stiffness, no more limping after getting out of the car or up from being seated for awhile. It really is true, if my OS had told me I wouldn’t be back to 100% for a year, I might have limped out of his office and still be in misery and living a life limited with the pain of haglund’s deformity and achilles tendinosis.
I do things I was doing this time last year (round of golf, climb a ladder, go up and down steps, 12 hour shifts on the ambulance) and marvel at what it’s like to do these things without constant pain and swelling. At the time of surgery and recovery, it seemed so slow. Now, it is such a small blip on the radar. A year has gone by in the blink of an eye and my life is 1000% better these days.
