Achilles Tendon Surgery

My vantage point for awhile.

I ruptured my Achilles Tendon coaching Jaelyn's basketball team on Wednesday, Nov. 1st.  Marcus was in CA for work and Oma was at home watching Ben & Brooke.  I knew I ruptured it right away - felt the internal "pop" sound and fell to the floor.  That feeling is the worst feeling in the world - at first you look around to see who kicked you in the leg and realize no one was around you!  Marcus got on the 11:30pm flight and was home by 3:30am to help me figure out who to see for surgery.  Thank goodness he was able to fly home within a couple hours of it happening!

Surgery happened on Nov. 7th.  It will be a LONG road to recovery.  6-8 weeks non weight bearing.  Who knows when I can walk, much less drive again.  Thankful for the tribe that is in my life that will help pick up the pieces.
