Yuk! I broke my heel bone in a karate accident a few years back and because of that have achilles tendonitis. Are you in a walking boot now? I remember the crutches and just using those was exercise in itself! You could do arm stuff!

Well that's better than nothing. Yeah, I hope you feel better when you get out of it. It felt weird to walk without anything on; had to learn how to walk again!

Lol. Are your doctors going to recommend any kind of physical therapy? I didn't know what was wrong with my foot and on and off it hurt for years, until finally they decided I had achilles tendonitis b/c my muscles had atrophied b/c of non-use for several months and the way the boot held my foot. I had p.t. for 6 weeks and it helped a lot!

Well you got your "boot's" on then! sounds like it wasn't the news you were hoping for but at least you're on the mend. Take care of yourself, you're doing great, even with a bum foot!

thanks for the support...i will start therapy next week...2 times a week for the next 6 months or so...will have to do the same therapy to both legs so that the right one is not in better shape/smaller from the excerise that the left one...that would not look very good...one in shape leg and one all flabby...lol

Glad to hear recovery is moving along. I know you're smart enough not to overdo anything till they tell ya that ya can! So many people rush recovery time, glad you're doing so well.
