Thread: Ouch! Achilles tendon rupture...

So how did you do with the sugery? Hope things are going well.

Take Care,
Richard

Surgery went very well, thank you! The tendon was completely off, and is now stitched together. (or whatever they do.) Time to heal and later to rehab..
Worst thing is that I'm not allowed to drive since I don't have an automatic, so I'm quite stuck in the house if noone else can give me a ride...!

And I've read that the rehab is quite long and hard so does anyone here have any good advice?

Ouch... that sux.... get well.

One bit of advice... eat less but eat well.
Follow the surgeons advice for healing... You will possibly
feel better before you are so stick with the plan.

Thanks for the advice on eating! Yea, I guess I risk to gain a kilo or two, good thinking there! I think I'll ask the physio if its ok doing pushups and situps, then I at least can get a little exercise at home..
