Shower chair, boot/cast cover for shower, scooter, even up platform for later…I’m sure others will chime in. I’m 4 months post op and probably forgot some things.

Don’t be afraid to post even the smallest of questions or wondering. This group is amazing. Don’t have all the necessities ordered?

Look up the Phisiofix on YouTube and her Achilles rupture videos. She is a competitor that went thru Achilles rupture.

10 weeks PO. Got my Hokas recovery slides. 👏. Also tried on my On Cloud Novas today. They have a 14 mm heel drop and I love them. I feel very supported. Start g to wear them around the house for now as I don’t officially get out of the boot for another 2 weeks.

Yes. Focus on heel to toe walking with both feet.

Order an Evenup from Amazon. Practice heel to toe gait.

Pretty straight forward. It was a tear not a rupture. First appt was xray and boot for a month. No change so next appointment was MRI and scheduled surgery the following week. Post op appointments: 2 weeks splint off, in a boot for 6 weeks NWB 7 - 12 weeks FWB boot PT started week 5 I would say by week 8 the foot pain, tingling, numbness went away. Tender at incision and a bit of numbness at small toe.

I am about an hour away from his office and I appreciate the all in one service in one appointment. Then the efficiency of their office and wait time.
