TweetHave a speedy recovery.
TweetHey guys!
I either ruptured or tore my Achillis Saturday. Man, it felt like someone landed on my calf. Everyone heard the 'snap'. I got up and tried to walk it off but I couldn't put any weight on it. I went to the ER and they did some tests and the doc is pretty sure it's a complete tear. But, just a tear of the gastroc and not the soleus. That good. If both tear, then it's real ugly. Anyways, I go in today at 3:15 for an evaluation with the Orthopedic Surgeon. From there they will schedule the surgery. I hope it's sooner than later. I was hoping for them to just do it Saturday, but what can you do?
Anyways, I will let you guys know what I find out today. Unless they just go ahead a do it today, then you may not hear from me for a few days.
Wish me luck!

TweetOUCH!
Tendons are not fun to injure - I severed one in one of my fingers 10 years ago in a work-related injury and had to have an operation to repair it followed by 2 months of rehab. During the rehab, my finger was actually able to forecast the weather....
After a tendon repair they tell you not to try to test it because it needs time to fuse back together.
Not to mention like you said - when a tendon tears or is severed it actually snaps back like a rubber band - mine fell back into the palm area of my hand when it was cut by a sheet metal air duct - the ride to the hospital seemed like the longest 30 minutes of my life....
Good luck and hope you recover soon....
TweetWell, I got the update, I go under the knife on Wednesday night at 5PM. Talk about shitty. That's no food or drinks all damn day. I'm going to be so damn pissy that day. He said that it will only be a 30 to 45 minute surgery and then a couple hours post op. Also, he said he thinks it's a complete tear but it didn't ball up so it will be a quick fix. I don't honestly think it's a complete tear or I wouldn't be able to flex my calf and I can somewhat. Wish me luck.
TweetHope it all goes well for ya Tman!
