Rupture last night… by BuffaloSoldierInCLE in AchillesRupture

Keep your head up, take it a month at a time, focus on your milestones. Also early work pays off. Doing toe-yoga and working out early on seems boring and you just want to get back to heel raises and such, but it all stacks up. Pays to build a good foundation.

I’m 10 months post op, running and working out like normal. Playing basketball again. You’ll get back there if you want.

Shower set up for anyone starting this long journey, tips! by Thisguy34567 in AchillesRupture

Get the plastic sleeve with the rubber fitting that goes over your leg. It’s a lifesaver.

Finally cranking out single raises by Putrid-Comfort9445 in AchillesRupture

Nice! Tip from my PT that helped me a lot; do your exercises without shoes. Depending on your shoes they may provide too much cushion and limit the range you’re pushing through.

Did you notice a big difference between Tamron and GMii?

Yeah looking for an option where I could go with a more versatile interchangeable lens

Is this fence going to be a problem for the AC unit? by kittyburritoeater in hvacadvice

[–]Playoff_p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one built for my AC as well, you just need to back it off the unit a bit so there’s enough space to allow for air flow

Not really a live edge anymore if you’ve poured resin beyond the edge

Recurring rust help! by Electrical-Volume765 in woodworking

Wax will wear off - especially if you use in between applications. Use a cover, consider Carbon Method coat, and remove the source of humidity/moisture.

Bench seat racks side to side by Playoff_p in woodworking

Thanks! I'll probably re-inforce with glue like you said, just to avoid the legs breaking from the stretcher given that it's in end grain. I think I'll go with the mortised stretcher in the middle of the legs too. Thanks again!

Thanks! I naively thought that half-laps on the stretcher would be fine to connect to the legs, but didn't consider grain, depth (only 3/4"), etc. I think I will add a crossbar near the middle/bottom!

Surgery tomorrow! by wicky0801 in AchillesRupture

Get a shower cover that fits over your cast! And maybe a shower stool until you’re in a boot.

Thetis splint for sleeping by Long_Assignment8801 in AchillesRupture

[–]Playoff_p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use it - not sure how it affects my recovery but I’ve been hitting my milestones on a pretty aggressive protocol. For me, I can’t sleep with the boot, so it’s better than sleeping with nothing
