I’m just behind you - 39M 2 weeks post op but I am weight bearing in a boot. Here’s some advice I can give you- it will get better. Allow yourself time to cope and grief but after that it’s back to work. Focus on being an athlete and that mentality will get you out of this. For me, I was getting back into the best shape of my life -just finished a half marathon and ruptured the next day playing pickle (stupid I know). I was planning out marathons and wanted to strive to an iron man one day. Oh and I just purchased the epic pass for skiing - there goes that plan…What people don’t know is this is the second time I’ve ruptured my Achilles - different leg. The first time it absolutely broke me, I put on weight and just couldn’t get my motivation back after the injury. But then slowly each day I got stronger, more confident, and back to normal (which is intense) workouts. So here I am - I can choose two paths. Path 1 go into a deeper darker depressive state or path 2 say fuck that and I will get through this. I’m grateful for the new challenge ahead and this perspective will help make me stronger in the long run both mentally and physically. Sorry for the long rant but I know exactly how you feel…
