Achilles surgery and no riding/walking for 2 months what do you do?
I have not been riding much in the last year due to some achilles and heel pain so now I just had achilles tendon surgery due to a heel deformity and a bone spur growing off the top of my heel up into the achilles. According to the Dr. they detached the tendon ground down the bone cut and lengthened the achilles and reattached the tendon and Doc says zero weight for 8 weeks. I am looking forward to riding again without the painful side effects but what do you do in the meantime besides look forward to recovery...I -- Daytripper63 The Dictionary is the only place where "Success" comes before "Working" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Daytripper63's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/10789 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/72400 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Practice your balance on one foot w/ one or both eyes closed, on balance boards and/or a squishy ball. In your condition sudden jumps off may cause more damage, so I'd do stuff high failure but low consequence, like a wall or something to grab onto if neccessary. -- skilewis74 Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere.

Achilles surgery and no riding/walking for 2 months what do you do?
I have snapped an Achille's tendon some time ago .. it took me two years to get things back to normal: the big problem is that the other foot might consider it's up to it to counterbalance. So my other tendon started to hurt and I had to train hard to balance efforts on my feet. 4 doctors later one discoverd I had some bones in my foot that were stuck together .... (but this is a genetic defect not related to my achille's accident). So be more aware of your body... -- wobbling bear One Wheel : bear necessity ------------------------------------------------------------------------ wobbling bear's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/3716 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/72400 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

1. Edit all those photos and videos that are cluttering up your computer (I'm guessing) 2. Write a book 3. Waste tons of time here and in Just Conversation 4.

Learn to Juggle? Sit in a window and smile at old people as they walk past, makes them feel so much better! I kind of hope for your sake that it's already a bit better by now...
