Saw the new ortho today. He was very positive and easy to talk to. I explained the situation from day one and my experience with the surgeon. He asked who the other guy was–and believe it or not he said I wasn’t the first patient he had gotten from the other guy..He knew about previous doc’s lack of bedside manner and being an a$$hole..pardon the french..anyway he said that there was no reason for me to remain in the boot for another 3 months and to put it aside and walk(cautiously) while I build up my strength..put itback on if I get tired, etc, etc..also said he has no hesitation on my being more aggressive at this point with therapy, etc…just to listen to my body and slow down if it hurts…he stated that he felt the tendon and it felt intact and strong and that an MRI wasn’t needed, after 6-8 weeks there was no reason for me not to have started physical therapy..basically go with therapy and let him know when I thought I was able to go back to work…good news but sorta scary going from one extreme to another….I will just try to take it slow, but at least there is an end in sight..that takes alot off of me—with the other doc there didn’t seem to be an end to this…..hope everyone else had a good day….Kevin
