Achilles Tear

2020 has been the most unusual year...the year of COVID, the year of quarantine. ON SEPTEMBER 25th,I fell off a stool in the backyard, which i admittedly should not have stood on. Stool toppled and i fell...didnt thunk i hurt myself as i didnt feel anything until i stood up...toes felt numb but no pain. after 4 hours in emergency, was semt home with splint, crutches and appointment with ortho in 2 days....torn achilles. ortho put on hard cast..no weight at all.. couldnt manage crutches so bought a knee scooter to get around....its niw been 2 weeks and cast comes off tomorrow hopefully...to be replaced with a boot for 4 or6 weeks. feeling very frustrated and realize how much we take for granted on a daily basis. so thankful for family and friends and co workerswho have brought food, done laundry, cleaned house. Not thankful for loss of control of household.
