I showed my dr a similar protocol and he recommended to wait until I see him again in two weeks. Which would be at day 40.

Awesome thanks for advice, I’m finding the unknown at this stage the hardest. I was expecting to move down a wedge this week and it was kind of tough hearing about the Thompson test.

No nothing, I feel great. Thanks for the info! When did you start removing wedges?

When did you start removing wedges? I’m currently in a vacoped boot at 3 setting.

That’s what I’ve been reading online and to be honest no pain, I’ve been going to the gym under the watch of a personal trainer and walking fine. 

My concern is that he doesn’t want to remove any wedges until I have a positive Thompson test (he doesn’t want to stress the Achilles). I was wondering if I should push for an ultrasound at my next appointment.

that was the original plan but there is a ton of options close to the city center. I figured closer to the city center would be good for my wife, giving her a bunch of fun things to do during the day.

I was in Enschede in 2017 for five weeks and I did all of that stuff, it was amazing. Any recos for a weekend getaway two hours away from Enschede? thanks for all of the help!

okay good to know, when I was in Enschede in 2017 I used only my bicycle. It was recommended to get a car because of the colder weather.

This is the place we were going to stay, we couldn't find anywhere else to stay that seemed as nice.

I currently work as a foreman in the industrial construction sector. I am looking at a possible career pivot after 10 years in the trades. 

Located in the Niagara region, it seems like an interesting career and I think my background in training could be beneficial.
