It was torn badly. Down to 5% at the worst part. Surgery was this morning and I am back home. I think I will take today off from the gym :-/

How did the tear happen?

40 yard sprints with jog backs.

It looks like your legs have never seen a gym.
I know, I fucking hate them.

That is going to take a long time to come back from. A partial tear is one thing but a complete or almost complete is really tough. When you come back change that 40 yard sprints to 800 meters repeats if you can. 40 yard sprints are for guys in their early twenties in hard core athletic shape.
I completely tore off my bicep. It rolled up to my shoulder. It took me 6 months to get back. Lucky I had a really good repair done. Guys with partials seem to get back so quickly.
Don't do anything until the doc gives his okay. You don't want to compromise the repair. When you are in physical therapy work hard and most athletes do know how to work hard. I would leave therapy and do my own with little girly baby dumbbells I got. They actually make dumbbells in 2.5, 5, and 10lbs.
Hopefully it will be a good recovery without any limitations. If it doesn't come back 100% biking/swimming isn't a bad cardio activity.

Yep. My doc gets to set the recovery tempo for my left calf. The rest is mine. I have a nice upper body workout that I am planning to do 4-5x a week. I can do flat bench, pull-ups, leg-lifts, DB curls, DB militaries, and band press downs all without putting an ounce of weight on my left foot. I have already done it 4 times.

Epic ginger legs. There is no hope. You should have told the surgeon to go ahead and sever a major artery.
Edit: It seems that you do have something to live for. I can say nothing wrong with the house. Must be a first. :-*

Wishing you a speedy recovery aj.

I agree with the legs. I have been trying to do something about them and now this. Wait until the "after" pic to see what shitty legs REALLY look like.

You are a ginger right? They have no souls. :D

How long did the surgeon say you would be out of action?

Get well soon..
Peace

I have a big jar of Vicodin right here...
Oxy is so much better on my stomach. Hope you have a speedy recovery and that none of those pans hanging in the kitchen fall on anyone :)
-

6 weeks in the cast with a recast, re-angling of foot every 2 weeks. Then I can begin PT.

All Clad is great, but quite pricey, although it should last a lifetime. Cooking style should impact decision. Definitely DO NOT buy a "set" - get open stock - things you would actually use. A Lodge cast iron skillet would be a good piece to own, but not suitable for eggs. That's about the only time non-stick is required.

Thanks! She has been using the All-Clad brand of powdered polish. This looks good.

Works great. No need for a scrubbie ~ just a cloth and some powder. Removes any discoloration (which happens naturally from high heat) and doesn't scratch. Cheap too. Get it at any grocery store or places like Target.

Just trolling bro ;D

I just Amazon Prime'd a 2-pack. I will credit one of the few females on GB for the tip.

Maybe you can get her to post some recipes (your favs) on the Nut board. Or, if she's too busy bringing home the bacon while you sit on your ass watching Oprah recuperate, you could do it for her ;)

Ha! I am still going into the office. My kids still need me over there. I only missed today because I was unconscious. I will have her pull out some of her favs.

great home gym! congrats!

Damn aj I feel for you. I just partially tore mine jumping in my pool drunk and banged it on the bottom. It hurt like hell and took months to get back to normal. I can't imagine to that extent. Good luck with it. I wish you a speedy recovery.
-
fuck this sounds painfull, i sincerely wish a fast and easy as possible recovery,man 8)
When I hear "recovery", I hear "HGH". Sadly, my surgeon's ears don't appear to be as acute as mine... :-\

It's gonna take about 3 months to be back, more or less. Surgery offered the best outcomes WRT recovery and re-injury (shudder).
-
At least you have got an awesome kitchen. Three months isn't that long. Its been nine months since my nose op and its still not recovered. That surgery takes a full year and one doctor told me it can even take up to 18 months.

Ouch. Dang. Sorry 'bout that.

If you can get back full strength and function in 3 months that would be amazing. Work hard to get function back when you get the doctors and physical therapist give the ok to push it. It will be baby steps for a while. Wishing you a full recovery.
When is physical therapy beginning? I would think about 4 to 6 weeks?

Thanks, I just have swelling still.

Only 3 months recovery is incredible. My little tear took a good 8 months to heal itself. Walking down stairs were a bitch, I remember that.

Yes I think it will take much longer. The achilles takes ages to heal due to the blood flow taking a long time to get down to that area. Maybe the surgeon is not being completely honest. I know that surgeons here don't tell you much. My surgeon gave me no info what so ever about recovery time. I was shocked at the swelling. I asked about training and all he said was don't drop something on your nose, but gave me no info at all in regards to how to keep swelling down to a minimum. In the end I started taping my nose when I trained and when I slept at nights. I was very disappointed with the communication of the surgeon.

I would think it's a really tough recovery. The Achilles tendon is really big. My bicep tendon that ripped completely off my arm at the insertion made the entire arm and shoulder feel weak. It took almost 2 months before I could completely extend the arm. I could do one pull up after about 4 months. At 6 months I was lifting relatively heavy again.

3 months to heal is quite different from returning to athletic training in 3 months. I hope he's right about the 3 month recovery.

Possibly the surgeon means three months to do everyday stuff, but not train.

I am sure that I won't be sprinting in 3 months. My goal is to be walking without a limp or a cane in that period of time. I am going to see how PT progresses and my doctor's advice on how hard/ how fast I can push it.

Hopefully the doctor can give you some solid advice because my experience here is very disappointing.

He's a sports medicine fellow and NCAA Div 1 team doc, so he has a lot of experience with these. Of course, that's with 20-something athletes, not 48 year-old executives :-\
There appears to be a lot of newish thinking around Achilles healing in the last 10 years.

You will probably get the best advice then. Here in Australia they have the attitude "she'll be right mate" :-\ I wasn't prepared for how long the recovery would be. I currently have a throat infection and had to go to my doctor. He asked if I had popping in the ears and I told him I have had it since my surgery. Its from the swelling and the reason I know this is from google. Google has been my after care surgeon

Fucking hell...I wanted to baseline a Vicodin so I waited 7 hours for my next one. Too long. As soon as I had to move, the pain was off the charts. I am posting on GetBig instead of screaming in agony.

I took my painkillers on the exact times for the first week after my surgery. I had minimal pain. I suggest you take them as prescribed. There is no reason what so ever to endure pain. It slows recovery

Follow the directions for pain meds. Gotta get them in BEFORE the pain sets in.

Sage advice, but the instructions are vague: "one or two every 4-6 hours as needed". I won't have to make this mistake again.

Take every 4 hours. This way the pain doesn't build up

pain is a good indicator of what your should not do and what is ok to do, never take pain pill, or any pill at all.

Hell, I think I might have a partial tear of something in my left knee. I landed weird after I attempted a dunk, well over 2 months ago. I felt intitial discomfort, but I walked it off. Now, my knee kills me after a 20 minute drive. Something is still wrong.

This was a bad time to find out that I am immune to opiate-based pain meds. Even the Oxycodone has no effect. That said, 4 advils seem to be working just fine.

A knee can take 4 to 5 years to self heal. I popped/tore something and it was bulging on the backside of the knee for a year and a half, and something kept painfully slipping around in there for another 3 to 4 years. After 4 to 5 years I was perfect in my knee again. Even did an x-ray and no injury or wearing was found. I concider myself very lucky, but I never doubted it was going to heal, because it got better and better albeit slow.
If you let a doctor dig around in there with a knife your knee will never be the same again.

What?? Use some bar keepers friend and some copper. Its stainless steel....
Edit - Princess L already mentioned this. When I got my first All-Clad pan I thought I turned the burner off when in fact I had it on low. I took a shower and came out and smelled something. I looked and almost shit my pants when I saw how bad the pan looked. Talked to a friend who laughed and told me to do the copper and bar keeper's friend. 10 mins of cleaning and back to new. The only thing is the rivets where the handle attaches. Can never get all the stuff off.
