Thoughts from the edge - week 3 of my achilles tendon surgery recovery

[Howard]

I am in week 3 of my  achilles tendon surgery recovery and sitting around with my lower right leg in a cast.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, I now feel older , fatter and more useless then ever before.
I'm over 50, overweight and need viagra to have sex with my favorite teddy bears ( * see recent thread on this).
On the good side, the drill bit factory I work at,  gave me extended sick leave.
If I was a race horse , they would put me to sleep.

To stay busy I eat a lot of junk food. I pass so much gas, I always need a can of air freshner beside me.
My carbonated beverage consumption is also quite high and I get whiplash from my frequent burps.
Mom said I can stay in the basement apt as long as I want. That is cool, but I get nervous she will come down and catch me jerkin' off
to underwear secton of the Sears catalog.

I have accepted my fate as a regular Joe and have now lost all ambition to bodybuild.
At this point, I may be forced to suspend my campaign as a 4th party candidate for President.
I'm changing focus on my career goals anyway. While I lack a formal education, I think I would be a good bank executive.
Ya know, I like $$$, I want to have money and banks have a lot of it.

Ok, so that's it. Any getbig life coaches wanna advise me on this and other issues chime in please.

good to see you howard

[Howard]

Well slap me and call me suzy.

I really did tear my achilles, and it sucks being in  a cast boot.

[oldtimer1]

How did you rip it? Was it complete tear or a partial? That has to be really hard to come back from. I tore my bicep completely and it rolled up my arm toward my shoulder. It took about 5 to 6 months to get the strength back in my arm. Many guys have partial tears and they come back quicker. Hope in time you can figure out a cardio activity that won't aggravate the repair.

I fell walking downstairs in parking garage.
It was a pretty good tear but not total.
I am going to see the surgeon tuesday  for my 3 week follow up and go from there.
Wish me luck.

Despite the rumors , the over 50 years are not the golden years.
I would prefer the rusty years as the correct term.

Sorry but try an entire year...I had my rear labrum reattached in september and in november I woke up paralyzed in half my body and had to have 2 vertebrate replaced and 4 discs and a titanium plate with 4 bolts permanently placed in my cervical spine.....

And now you re trying to steal the attention from another attention whore in his own thread. We dont give a shit about your life ffs.

Ok reality check here Billy Guns !
Unlike YOU my injury and operation was NOT close to a  life changing ordeal.
Thus, my post was meant to be a JOKE and my attempt at humor.
Obviously you had some really serious shit to deal with and came out of it , in good shape?.
I'm lucky mine is only an achilles tendon. It sucks having to use crutches for a few weeks, but I'll live LOL.
FYI, for the record, I  am a 53 yr old physics teacher and really did tear my achilles tendon.

I considered calling them. BUT, I feared after talking to me, they might get so bored , they would want to kill themselves.

Your mom wasn't a virgin when I nailed her ya know.

Thanks for the drinking tip to help with my recovery...or at least make me feel no pain.

I just got out of the full cast and am in the boot now, so I feel better.
The surgeon talked to me today and told me that it was the toughest achilles tendon procedure he had ever done.
I waited 2 months before I went and had it fully checked out, thinking it was a sprained ankle or something minor ( like an idiot!)
The tendon had undergone full rupture and was creeping up my to my calf and leaving a trail of scar tissue.
Ths is the same thing tha happens if you wait too long to fix a bicep tendon tear.
I have an 8" scar from my heel to lower calf now, but it is fixed and will recover.

The ironic thing is I really miss the gym and have the fire in the belly to compete again by next year.
I'm still on crutches but in the boot, so  will start doing some machines for upper body on wed.
Take care and thanks again for the positive words.
