OK, just started this blog to outline two weeks in immobile hell, and the overall progress of repairs to my left achille's tendon. Had surgery Monday, Nov. 7 at R.I. Hospital, under the knife of Dr. Christopher DiGiovanni, THE lead foot/ankle dude doc in the state and one of best in New England (Brown grad, Brown teacher, head of foot ortho at RI Hospital, etc), and now at home facing two weeks of sitting. Literally. With the bum foot up, the left one. So, with apologies to Daniel Day Lewis, I figured to start:
My Big Fat Hurt Left Foot
I'll try to do a day-by-day rundown on how much it sucks to be an active human thrust into total inactivity and how to deal with it. So far, Vicodin is helping immeasurably...have six weeks on crutches, then a couple months of physical therapy. Doc figures six months I'll be doing sports again, particularly hockey which I miss so much it hurts....
I'm not proficient in doing blogs or getting word out on them but I'll do my best, via Facebook and, since I've time on my hand, perhaps Twitter, where I have an account that is dormant. Time to step into the social media world, albeit addled on Vicodin but still, it's a start..
OK, that's it for now, more later...
Careful of the Vicodin. . . :-)
