Yes, I remember our posts about it...
...figured you might respond.
What symptons do you have now, that you didn't have before?
How long was it that you couldn't move around?

It's gotten much better...
Actually, I am ahead of the recovery schedule, according to my doctor and physical therapist; so my time frame is not indicative of the normal person..
Surgery was on Jan. 14
Cast came off ~ Feb 15, put on orthopedic boot
Orthopedic boot came off ~ Mar.15
physical therapy ~ 2 times a week.
Currently, I can walk and do light jogging (although I'm not supposed to) with little discomfort
Current Symptoms:
my achilles is still swollen around the ankle (although real good for the timeframe)
still feels stiff, although I have regained all my mobility and flexibility. (again ahead of schedule)
I can now get on my tippie toe on my bad ankle
I currently try to walk or do hiking as much as I can to loosen up my leg.
June 15. next doctor's visit to determine if I could officially be active again ie. play tennis , run etc.
The ****tiest part was not being able to drive stick shift for ~ 6 weeks or so...
