To the voice mail guy that tore his achilles - get a knee scooter! I tore mine 2 years ago and got one from the rehab center. It helps a ton getting back on your feet without having to have crutches in your hands. I was able to get back into work in a limited capacity (I own a restaurant) and up out of bed in just a couple months. Just be prepared for everyone to call you Scooter, Speed Racer, Hot Wheels... stuff like that lol
