Hopping on One Leg, Laughter Pulling the Other

My walker was a little further away from me today than I would have liked it to be. So I hopped over to it on my good leg to get the darn thing. Lakers were hosting the Thunder, and I wanted to get at the remote. However, as I returned to the sofa and swung my leg over to elevate it on my pillows, I felt a pain down my calf and near my Achilles. Of course I panicked a little because my pain had diminished tremendously since Thursday, and I was using the pain-killers less frequently. Can pulling on the calf muscle stress the repair? And no, I wasn’t really laughing. The wild weasel was crying…on the inside.
