Went to see to the OS this morning and he is very happy with my healing so far, the tendon is nicely joined and my range of movement is very good for this time in my healing.
He has asked that I purchase a MBT shoe for when I am in the US and I was wondering if anyone had any feedback on them, reading reviews on the net showing pretty much nothing but positive feedback but are not for achilles specifically.
I need to buy some this week and do a test run next week for the surgeon with a view to wearing them while in the US to aid my getting around easier.
I also saw my Phyio and my boot was put to neutral! Who would have thought that freezing temperature (0°) would be something I wanted to get to! Ha… I have found it much easier to walk with the boot at neutral as well so that is helpful. I am pretty much WBAT at home and still using the crutches in the big bad world!
I was also given some extra exercises to do to try and build up my calf muscle as my good calf is 39cm’s and my bad calf is 36cm’s. I have to stand bare footed while holding on to a steady surface and swap my weight back and forth from my good leg to my bad leg.

Love the name of your blog. The banner, too. Did you draw it yourself?

Thanks. The banner itself is a default one. I just chose this theme and it came with the banner.
I thought it was kind of appropriate.
