Achilles journey nov 19th

 Well it will be 8 weeks tomorrow since I injured my tendon,  

Saw ortho on nov 9th and he said he didn’t feel a gap and I had a bit of movement on Thompson test...removed 1 wedge with last wedge to come out nov 16th....then can come out of boot week after

Physio started on Tuesday and another session today Thursday.  Had me stand on foot on Tuesday wow scary.  Therapist seems very knowledgeable and patient.   Finally got the sock off after 5 weeks and soaked it in Epsom salts...yuk what came off that foot. 

Have exercise program to do daily at home.  In some pain tonight, but to be expected after this period of time.

Last wedge came out on Tuesday but still using the walker.  Doing my best to weight bear more. Had a bit of a meltdown last night...just getting tired and frustrated...been such an emotional ride.

This weekend he said to try putting shoe on and stand and shift side to side...he said to expect 2-3 months more before regain normal living.  🙏

So the tiny tree went up today, as I’m not able to put up the big tree this year.  I feel so bad that I’m not able to do this, as I know how much my mom loves to see the tree.  She was pleased to at least see something and neighbour called to say the tree looked nice from outside.

Make the best of this..i need to accept this mantra.
