Well I am 3 weeks post surgery and my patience has definitely been tested. I broke my ankle and heel along with the achilles rupture which they say is not an easy thing to do but I like to raise the bar…I was a triple jumper in college and no doubt my left leg has endured significant trauma over the years. I am 5′7″ 200 lbs, not exactly the ideal build for traveling 50 feet through the air but I guess it all caught up with me in the end. Jumping is kinda my thing, always bouncing around and doing things that others seem impossible (or not worth trying). I guess the mental part of this injury has me worried more than the physical damage. I hope I can be as athletic as I was.
