A while back someone posted they were going in for some type of achilles surgery. I can't remember who is was but I for for a consult tomorrow.
Any idea who is was? outcome? what type of work was it?

Thanks,

That'd be me.

I had something called an achilles debridement on March 3. I was on crutches for 12 days. I'm in a walking boot now (for 3 more weeks) and then I start rehab to get it up to full strength. The "hot spot" on my achilles tendon is gone. The constant pain that I had over the past two years is gone. I can walk fine without the boot, but I'll wear it for 3 more weeks just in case. I'm very excited and optimistic for next season.

If you have more questions, just e-mail me at kevtrout at northwest dot net. (I'm not a doctor but I did stay at a Holiday Express last season)
