Just got my 2nd cast off.

Posted on November 2nd, 2008 by kurtachilles

What a relief. Had my 1st session of PT and was given my homework while kicking back. It has been 5 weeks since my surgery, I am so anxious to get back to work.  My Achilles is so  tight.

For those of you a little further along than me, can you please give some words of encouragement.

I guess I should mention that I slipped from my Fire engine, thinking that it was my ankle. Oh how I was wrong.

    Hi Kurt,
    Yes, take advantage of all that workers comp has available to you. You are going to need it. Great that you are on your way to rehab! The pool really helped me do more . While we are inactive, the nutrition should not be neglected….vitamins, high protein, and prevention of weight gain! Good luck.

    Hey Kurt,
    Your first few PT sessions will show rapid progress as your ankle starts to loosen up, then it’ll slow down. It’s gonna take time to loosen up again, I’m coming up to 14 weeks post ATR and it stiffens up quite quickly.

    Encouragement……

    GET BACK TO WORK!!!!!

    Seriously though it will take you time, you will have awful days and good days, nothing is standard for any of us. As a Fireman I expect you will hopefully get some extra help with your rehabilitation through the fire service.

    Best to try and just go with the flow, you will know how much you can and cannot do, if it hurts stop, if it doesn’t go a bit further.

    best of luck
