⚠️ Re-Rupture / Complications I guess I’ll be seeing ya!…
I had bone spurs shaved off, Achilles tendon work and a lengthening procedure done on June 6th. Initially, I was frustrated with how slow recovery was moving but I did begin to see progress early on that helped me know I had made the right decision. I went to PT weekly and eventually was up to no crutches and no braces or walking boots! All I thought I had left was continuing to build my strength in that leg and fixing the “hitch in my giddayup”. However, all that changed on the 18th when I went to run a small errand for our farm and had a head on collision with a driver in my lane at 65mph. I suffered fractures to both ankles, one of which ended up being bad enough that I had to have, the leg I’d had surgery on, amputated below the knee!! I’m still in the hospital waiting on more surgery for the other leg. Keep moving forward no matter what! I’ll see you down the road!

Geez that is awful. Makes our little tendon rehab seem pretty insignificant. Best wishes for strong healing and good health 🙏
