The Long and Winding Road

I only realised a couple of hours ago that today marks my six month anniversary since the rupture.  I guess this is in itself an achievement.  Only a few months ago, my ENTIRE thoughts were dominated by the rupture.  That such a significant date almost passed me by is indicative that the injury is not such a significant part of my life right now.

I visit this website less often too.  From a daily visitor while in plaster, I visit now maybe once every couple of weeks or so.  I guess again this reflects that I think about my achilles less frequently.  I am indebted to the site and to those who took time to write of their own experiences and comment on my postings.  At a very depressing time, seeing that others have been through it and come out the other side is very important.

A quick progress update.  Generally things are improving, the leg is stronger and I am now able to do some jumps, as well as calf raises and reasonable jogging.  I am currently jogging for two and a half miles in around 25 mins.  Nothing like my pre-injury pace, but faster and further than since rehab began. I don’t feel pain too often and any morning stiffness in the leg wares off pretty quickly once up and about.

I notice from the marathon tracker that I am almost onto Manhatten island!  That has been a target of mine since the day I set up my blog.  Progress again.

All the best to everyone.
