Update - 31 weeks
November 12, 2008 by jonas
Hadn’t posted in a while, so I figured I’d put something out. I guess I forget a lot about the injury now. I still notice the weakness when I try to do certain things, but feeling somewhat normal now. I can run around the house with the kids. I can trot up stairs with relative ease. I haven’t really got out and started a good running program yet….since the “overdoing it” setback a little over a month ago. I use the eliptical machine 20 minutes a day and still do the same weightroom routine. I have slacked on the heel raises somewhat, but when I think about it, I knock some out and some stretching. Seems like I’m constantly stretching it…..almost a natural thing to sit there and just stretch it. It’s good when you don’t even have to think about it. Still have some time to heel ahead, but I’m getting that much closer every day. Just some words from an AT veteran.
Hi Jonas fron another ‘veteran’ I am 34 weeks since injury 31 weeks since operation, my doesn’t time fly when your having fun.
Glad that you are so close to being ‘normal’ again, I am still a long way off that, but still stretching and lots of walking. I’m too old to do gym work. Can walk quite a distance now without a limp which is very good for me.
Are you considered fit enough to work yet, guess in your career fitness is very important.
