11 Weeks and I’m Running Again
09/25/2011 by Tamal
2 weeks ago, I went for my eval 6 weeks after getting my boot off. I was doing PT about 2 times a week with some exercises at home. My therapist seemed a bit conservative but I was a bit ambitious so I was doing calf raises (no weight) at home about 2 weeks before I started doing them in PT. Anyway, I went to my doc and he said "You can run again. You can’t hurt that thing anymore." I almost fell off the table! I did know that my AT was getting stronger, but I wasn’t expecting that. That night, I ran 1.25 miles. It wasn’t a lot, and I wasn’t exactly breaking sound barriers, but it was the most grateful 1.25 miles ever. I called my doc a couple of days later and to ask if I still needed PT if I was working out on my own. He said no, so that’s a positive. I was paying a $25 co-pay every time I went. I’m not 100%, as my scar still hurts some, but I’m in much better shape than I was. I didn’t seem like I would ever walk again, what to speak of run and jump. Grateful is the word of the day.
Congrats Tamal. I begin doing a lot of plyometrics at PT starting week 12. It really helped me regain confidence during more explosive movements. I recommend you at least ask you PT for some plyo type movements you can do on your own.
Good luck

2, a group of people secluded in a deserted shop to eat, a total of six people, the waiter has brought the seven chopsticks. A colleague said: “more than a good ghost story at the beginning of ah.” Everyone laughed. Look at our waiter, counted, sorry said: a wrong a wrong. Then he withdrew a double-double. Silenced the table.
