Just got back from my 7 week checkup with the surgeon.  I am cleared to ditch the boot, drive, and return to work after April vacation!  I just drove to the store to get a soda for the first time in 2 months!  He said the tendon is pretty strong now but a bad trip could be a problem.  His instructions were to increase activity as tolerated and listen to my body.  Today is a great day!
