After surgery
From tumblr:
Completely ruptured my achilles tendon on Wednesday night at squash last week. Felt a pop and thought my opponent had hit me in the back of the leg. Thursday ultrasound, Friday appointment with the best surgeon in Melbourne and surgery on Saturday.
Still a bit surreal that all this has happened and that I will be on the road to recovery for the next 3 to 6 months. It is a real blow to the progress I have been making with my crossfit training and the positive changes in my body. This blog will now be travelling down a slightly different road.
I am very lucky to be surrounded by supportive family and friends and especially my boyfriend who despite my protests has not left my bedside since being discharged from hospital, and helps me with my anti-blood clotting injections (I am not a needles person!!!)
On the running front, I will be on crutches and a moonboot by the time the Melbourne Marathon comes around so will be doing the 3k walk instead. So on the fundraising front - you will still be making a difference!
