Post-Op Visit
We went to visit the orthopedist today to see how I was doing. He was very pleased with the positioning of the bones and the look of the sutures. Apparently I had previous damage to the tendon. When he went to reconnect it, there was not enough length to stretch it so he made another cut at the top of the calf muscle to lengthen the tendon there also. While in there he saw more calcification and cleaned it up. Looks like 6-8 weeks in a cast and then some extended rehab. The rehab will go very slowly at first but we’ll worry about that when the time comes. I’m already stir crazy and not real happy with moving around with a walker. Anyone got a set of tall crutches?
Here is a set of pictures I posted on Picasa.

And here is how this all started.
