Going Under The Knife

Writen By Tyler Ingram on Apr 17, 2007

Well Wednesday is my day for Surgery. I opted to have them repair the tendon as opposed to just have the tendon try to reattach itself while my foot is in a cast. I’ll still have a cast on for 6 weeks but this way I know it will be aligned properly and attached properly too.

So I’ll be in the hospital for 1 overnight stay, and then I said I wouldn’t be back to work till at least Monday. But I really hate going up and down stairs so we’ll see how well I feel. Doctor said they would be using metal stitches or something so the increase of discomfort might be there.

I’m not looking forward to the cast though. My foot has to be placed at an angle so that the tendon will be relaxed. I guess it will be like wearing a 5 inch heeled boot that I won’t be able to take off. I’m going to be walking funny and I hope I get some physio to help strengthen it too.
