It's good to read about a professional athlete's experience with Achilles recovery. It sure takes a lot of patience. Redskins defensive end, reserve Alex Buzbee ruptured his Achilles tendon as well (towards the bottom of the article.): http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080721/SPORTS11/807210350/1217/SPORTS Tom - Great article.

You're right, the clock is not our enemy. BTW, I've been trying the "stomp". Too early to tell if it's helping, but it's nice to have a new exercise to try, even if people shoot me some weird looks as if I was on LSD.

Don't worry, I don't feel discouraged by the article. I think it's important to know how long recovery can take. At 3 months, I started to feel down because I felt like I wasn't making progress. I really don't care how long it takes, the clock will tick no matter what I do. Tom, great article. Don’t worry, I don’t feel discouraged by the article.
