I blew the tendon on Saturday night. Met the surgeon on Tuesday; he operated on Wednesday.
I had came out of surgery with a splint and a wrap to the knee. I had a follow-up the following Monday (5 days post-op) and went straight into a cam boot. The reason for going direct [...]

Why did you trip me?
I really seriously thought my friend had tripped me. I was lying on the ground, bleeding, with my watch face crushed and then I remembered that I had heard a pop before I fell.
I was waiting for a train on a platform and my friends were debating who was faster. [...]

Correction: PWB is good for healing 3-4wks after Post-Op. Read about that from most PT Rehab sites…
I readed quite a bit info on that NWB, and according to most papers - some NWB is good for healing.
I am a 2nd timer - 2nd ruptured was 4cm below first rupture. 1st ruptured is healing very well. 4 weeks post-ops now, and is walking with moile boot as much as I can.
From talking w/ my doctor it’s just your individual doctors protocal. What he’s done and has worked. Some doctors are the extreme and have individuals walking week 2 and others are one the other side of the fence farther out than you are. My doctor is in the middle and had me walking with my boot week 4 and 2 shoes week 8-9. I didn’t have any pain at all through this whole experience..I guess one of the lucky ones. PT is going great with no pain either. I think if he has you walking by week 5-6 you’ll be good to go then. I’m in week 10 now and trying to get used to this 2 shoe thing again.
whydidyoutripme - Nice. Good to be in Bermuda. It’s starting to get cold here in the north east.. 
Morning Whydidyoutripme,
You know, I was feeling all sympathetic towards you and your complicated situation. But then I got to the bit where you wrote “I live and work in Bermuda” and my sympathy strangely evaporated! Sorry! I’m not a nasty person, but it is cold and rainy in England today and summer is definately over. Boo hoo.

Commiserations on joining the club.
It’s amazing how “easy” it is to do this injury really.
Best of luck with everything,
Sam
I’m sorry that I have to welcome you to the club - but there you go!
The day before my injury a friend commented to me that everyone around her seems to be in great health and it has been I while since she didn’t know someone recovering from surgery. I stupidly replied ‘don’t jinx it’ and the next day at soccer….
Best of luck in your recovery.
