Well I have made it through the surgery and hospital visit and so far all has gone well. My surgeon said I did a very good job at shattering the tendon and had to make a larger incision that first anticipated.

The hospital staff at Castlecrag Private in Sydney were all great and really made my stay a lot easier than I was imagining. I would recommend them to anyone unfortunate enough to need a hospital stay.

After a long trip home in the back seat of the car with the ankle elevated and hips twisted, I have finally made it to we’re I will spend a lot of my time over the next ten days before hopefully getting the cast off. The doc ended up putting a back slab cast on which has then been wrapped up tight with bandages.

Today is Melbourne Cup day here in Australia which is one of the biggest horse races is the world. They call it the race that stops a nation so what better way to spend the day then on your bum with the leg(s) up.

Pain level has been up and down so fingers crossed it does not get any worse.
