Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: Party's Over!
« on: November 24, 2021, 04:51:24 am »
After 19 days my leg is out of the cast and I'm now in a CAM boot. I'm still reliant upon the crutches and will be in this boot for the next 4 weeks. The surgeon said the wound appeared to be healing well and looked clean. So far so good. I've got a follow-up appointment with the surgeon in a couple of months. In the meantime I'll have to find a physio and start working to transition out of this boot into a heel wedge.

Thanks Loopie.

The anesthetic has worn off so I can feel the pain now. My heel is throbbing but I can move all my toes. Yesterday I could move my toes initially but they became numb and I couldn't feel anything, which was probably due to the anesthetic that lasts 24 hours.

Finally after almost 3 years I had my Achilles surgery today. The surgeon opened up my leg and removed all the degenerated/scarred tendon. I'll be in plaster until 23 November and will then spend about 4 weeks in a moon boot. I have a couple of weeks off work so my plan is just to spend a lot of time watching movies. I've been scripted some Oxycodone Mylan but I don't plan on using it unless I'm feeling severe pain. I also got scripted with some Cardasa low dose aspirin, which I need to take for the next 3 weeks daily.

Burgin’s time of 1min 44.14sec was a personal best and a European under-20 record – faster even than Seb Coe and Steve Ovett at the same age – but the way he did it, leading from gun to tape, was arguably even more impressive.

Went for a walk in the national park and ended up walking over 20k steps for the day. I think that's the most I've walked in a single day for a long time. I can remember a few 16 and 17k days but I don't recall any 20k days. My achilles will probably be aching tomorrow. We'll see...
