5.5 Months and a 2 week trip to China
February 13, 2014
Hey all!
Haven’t posted since the holidays but I would like to provide a pick me up to those folks who might be down in the dumps with a new ATR.
Life for me has gotten much better. My achilles is still stiff at times and it gets sore after a long day walking, but I am doing great otherwise. I’ve been doing PT on my own but am thinking on heading back in as I want to know if I can get back to jogging or not. I still miss being able to play sports, but I’m just happy I’m moving around again. I’ve never felt so blessed to be able to walk when I know others with disabilities or injuries can’t.
I was lucky enough to take a business trip to china and I visited Shanghai, Shenzen, and Hong Kong. What a beautiful country, and guess what!? I walked all over the place and only had to deal with some minor swelling!!
If there’s any advice I can give for you folks just starting out on your road to recovery, keep your head up and don’t feel sorry for yourself. Stay motivated, stay vigilant in PT, or if you’re fresh out f surgery, keep that damn thing elevated. Our bodies are extraordinary and they’ll heal themselves with the proper guidance.
Happy Heelin’ folks. I wish you nothing but positive energy.

Good luck and enjoy.
It has to be warmer than Chicago, Toronto, the East Coast…LOL.
