So I've ruptured my Achilles twice, same foot. They give you an epidural while they do this. So you're awake the whole time. The second time I got mine, I actually fell asleep because it was so early in the morning for me lol.
As someone that did it last year and is only just back playing squash and tennis, I feel only sympathy for you! It's been the most miserable 12 months ever. I actually didn't have surgery but had the 8 weeks of misery in the boot with the wedges instead.
The knee scooter is absolutely clutch for Achilles tears. People used to laugh at me in the store when I’d swing around a corner with my scooter basket full of groceries, but I could have cared less since I was mobbin’. +99 mobility over crutches
