Achilles Tendon

Here I sit in hospital after surgery on my “ruptured Achilles tendon”, after 2 weeks of laying around waiting, the surgery was all over in 45 mins and I didn’t feel a thing (thank god for general anesthetic).

It seems this is a common injury for “Weekend Warriors” who play tennis.  I was playing tennis but it was a Tuesday night!  So maybe I am a Midweek Warrior? ;)

If interested in discusting photos - here and here and here are some very disturbing ones of ruptured Achilles Tendons… thank god I didn’t look at these before surgery.

Seems I am going to be immobile for a long time (apparently it’s 9 months until I am running again).  So I guess I may as well invest some time into this “social media” stuff again.
