Well, I forgot I wasn’t 20 anymore and ruptured my Achilles tendon playing basketball. My leg is in a cast for 6 weeks! Comes off August 17 and I am counting the days. The first night was the worst and I just didn’t think I could do it, but slowly it has become tolerable. It sux not being able to carry anything or do the simpliest of things. Even when it comes off I’ve got 6 weeks of rehab. My foot is pointing down so that the tendon heals in a contracted state. I think its gonna be painful. I actually lucked out in a couple ways though. After 2 weeks, they generally recommend surgery–I was at 1-1/2. It was the left leg, not my right. On the bad side, I had to cancel my trip to Hawaii, but on the good side, I have a week off to get used to the cast. I hate it, but am trying to deal with it. The stupid Dr’s office gave me crutches too long for me, so I’m pole vaulting until the new ones arrive hopefully tomorrow. Jac, family and friend have been great helping and supporting, but I’m sure I’ll wear out my welcome soon…
