Bone spur on the Achilles Tendon. Scarring developed over the last 6 years making it painful and difficult to walk. At the time it started, surgery was a last resort – well the last resort has happened.
The Surgery – detach the Achilles from the bone, remove the scarring, reattach the Achilles with posts back to the bone. 90 minute procedure – sounds simple right!
The Recovery – 6 weeks Non-Weight Bearing; 6 weeks physio; 6 months total recovery. And no, the 6-6-6 coincidence did not go unnoticed. Only the Devil could possibly think up this recovery.
All I can say is OUCH!!!!
ReplyDeleteDo you need any books to read? Can I suggest any games to play?
You ARE going to rest... Right? No work?
Hi Peter, Tbanks for the offer. I stocked up before the surgery.
DeleteRest - no real choice to do anything else :)
Take care
