::: my husband’s short basketball season :::

I ran into a former coworker who ruptured his achilles tendon about 20 years ago.  When I told him the short version of my husband’s treatment, he said the treatment has changed a lot.  Twenty years ago, he had surgery then spent 10 weeks in a plaster cast that extended to mid-thigh.  Yikes.  Then he went into a shorter cast for some duration that he couldn’t recall. 

So, as grim as treatment is now, it sure could be worse.
