6 Months

Posted in Uncategorized on October 12, 2008 by walshie

Hi everybody!

I havent posted since the 4 month mark so heres an update on my beloved AT.  I was told by the good doc at Mass Gen that my tendon would be completely healed at the 6 month mark, so I guess I made it finally.

It feels good.  The swelling is gone, there is no pain, even after walking 18 holes.  I have been doing my therapy on my own for awhile now and am gaining my strength back albeit slowly.  

I can get my heel off the ground when I try a single-legged calf raise but not very far and for not very long.  I can jog but not run or play hoops or softball yet, its just not there strength-wise.  I’m not there yet mentally either.  

Welcome to all the newbies and congrats to all the vets on their continued progress…I follow the posts and the comments as much as I can.

…oh and I proposed to my girlfriend at Fenway a few weeks ago…and she said yes!!! …and the Sox won too, which was just as important IMO…hahaha
