First Blog

Hello all fellow tendon’ites’ (I think we’re all a new subculture so we have to have a name of some sort). :)   I have to admit this will be an interesting experience as I’ve never blogged before so bear with me if I goof up now and then.  I came across this site several months ago while I was recovering from tendon repair, reattachment surgery to my right achilles (with a few other things thrown in to make it interesting) and thought, at the time, that I wish I had known about this community from the beginning.  Well, after 14 months recovery from my right achilles surgery, I find myself about to have surgery yet again but on the left achilles.  This time around, I’m going to ‘blog’ through it!  My surgery is in about 3 weeks.  Its late here now and need to catch some sleep so I’ll fill in the story of how I got to this point next time.  I will need all the support I can get once again and will share the same with anyone else as fortunately or not, I’ve been through this whole process once before.  :)  Thank you Dennis for creating this community for those of us tendon’ites’ who now live and breath the achilles tendon path to recovery.  Have a good night all.  Thanks.

  1. I think it was Bill who referred to us all simply as “degenerates,” since most of us have degenerative changes in our tendons that lead to the rupture.

    That label fits me, anyway,

  2. I like that better! Its so applicable to my situation, and maybe me as well!
