Long road ahead

So after rupturing my Achilles on Saturday morning….seeing about ten different doctors who all “tested” my leg and told me the same thing…i go back into the hospital today to see the surgeon.  He takes off my splint cast, “tests” my leg again (which of course hurts and after which they all say “ah yes this is a classic Achilles rupture”), schedules me for a surgery for next Tuesday, and then has me put back in a splint cast. 

Anyone else run into this same problem?  I was told this morning on the phone that they might take me into surgery today….only to learn that it’ll be another week plus before I go under the knife…so much for getting right on the path of recovery.

Well I’m sitting here laid up on my couch getting used to searching the internet for all things related to my injury to my achilles tendon and I stumbled on this site.  I just ruptured my achilles this morning playing soccer in a charitable tournament….didn’t see it coming at all, i’m an active and athletic 25 year old and out of no where POP!!!

I’m expecting to have surgery either June 30th or July 1st.  It has been nice reading all of your different roads to recoverey and I hope to offer my own once I start down that road.  Until then i’ll be here, watching a lot of tv and shakin my head at my left leg.

Best of luck to everyone!
