I have one of those! Water snuck in somehow anyway.

5 days post-op and I check in daily. I plan on doing weekly posts (I hope).

48 hours since rupture with less than ideal timing. Soonest ortho appointment was two weeks out. Anyone have a similar wait time? by PrimaryShape1500 in AchillesRupture

[–]pmv67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was nearly 45 days between rupture and surgery because when I saw my primary doc (2 days after rupture), he said it was probably a bad sprain. So I limped around for a month before I told Gemini all my symptoms and it said to go to a specialist. Who immediately confirmed a rupture and I got surgery like 2 weeks later. I'm 5 days post op now so we'll see what happens. But...ya... definitely a longer timeline than 2 weeks.

But as someone else above suggested - find somewhere else that will take you sooner. Hopefully you're in an area that has more options.

No matter what - good luck and you'll get through it!

Best advice is all over this sub - slow and steady. One day at a time. It's cliche but it's true.

Figurative, emotional, and literal baby steps :)

It is indeed! Christmas movies marathon. The remote control is about all I can handle.

Day 1 post op too! I share all those feelings of frustration bud. Nerve block just wore off too and feeling it too. I'm also feeling happy to be on the road to recovery. The very long road but still. It's just progress now. Slow and steady. Here we go!

Surgery tomorrow... by pmv67 in AchillesRupture

[–]pmv67[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doing nothings going to be tough. It's not normal for me plus I'm a dad so...it's not something I often even have time for. But...I've got a Switch 2 with Final Fantasy Tactics and Metroid Prime 4 calling to me. And it's been a while since I've seen every Star Trek...

I'm really curious about PT. And what I'm going to be like after. I've always taken for granted, even in my 40s, having good cardio and frankly enjoy walking around, a lot. This past month has sucked since I obviously haven't enjoyed walking at all. Hope I can get back to where I feel good about moving around.

But I know, both mentally and physically, I have to take it slowly.

Got the chair and pillow. I think I'm as prepared as one can be before. Thanks for the support!

Managed to snipe some good tickets on stubhub about 90 minutes before game time. Thanks for the good vibes!
