19 weeks….not a great deal to report.
Hi fellow ATRs,
I haven’t updated my blog for a few weeks, mainly because there’s not been a great deal to report, although I have been reading the site regularly.
I’v now had the all clear from the physio and she says she doesn’t want to see me again as all the swelling has now gone down around the achilles although the achilles itself is now twice as thick as my un-ruptured AT.
I seem to be walking without a limp and my form is now at 90% symmetrical when I walk/descend stairs. I have also re-booked my Mexico Holiday for January (the original trip was cancelled due to my ATR happened the week before we were due to go last time) and I am under strict instructions not to run/jump or do anything that might tisk a re-rupture.
Unfortunately my gym sessions have waned in the last week as I have been DIYing every day trying to get our dining room ready for Christmas.
Hello to all you new ATRs who have joined recently. Hopefully this site will help you through the dark patches that will invariably hit home occasionally. There’s plenty of help and support here and I honestly don’t think I’d have made it this far without the advice and encouragement from other users (special mention to AnnieH).
here’s to healing,
Jon

Hi Jon,
Thanks for that special mention. I think it helps when quite a few of us Brits have such an interest in football creates another bond…
Lucky you going away, make sure you don’t do anything foolish on holiday! ! I’m sure you will enjoy yourself. Don’t do what I did when we went to America some years ago, I ran into a closed patio door and broke my nose, didn’t go to hospital there though in case they kept me in or charged me loads, I just went to hospital when we got back home, the bad news was my nose couldn’t be fixed then but the more serious damage was to my neck where I now have 2 fused dscs.
Anyway, enough of the gloom we should all be rejoicing in our improvements over the last few months.
Like you I have just finished the DIY of our bedroom. I started it just before rupture so every night all I saw was this half decorated room, anyway its all done now, so I can sleep a little easier, it drove me mad looking at it.
Happy Days
Annie
