Making Progress

March 9, 2010

Avert your eyes if you’re easily grossed out. Yep, this is a close up of my healing achilles incision. Did you really think I’d go through this experience without displaying this war wound? Dry, shriveled skin, swollen ankle…Not cute, I know. At least I shaved my leg before the photo op!

Be Careful What You Wish For

March 7, 2010

I couldn’t wait to get my cast off. I only had it on for a couple of weeks, after the initial week in a splint, so I know it wasn’t long compared to breaking a leg or something, but I was ready to move to the boot. I somehow associated getting my cast off and [...]

Ready to Get Back to Normal Life

March 2, 2010

I think I’ve been a pretty good sport with the whole crutches thing, but enough is enough. I’m ready for things to get back to normal. Aside from accidental trips and spills, I’ve followed my doctor’s orders perfectly. I am not walking on my foot. In fact, tomorrow will be two weeks since the surgery [...]

Recovering After Achilles Surgery

February 22, 2010

I woke up in a splint and with my toes peaking out from the bandages. I was instantly relieved that I had taken the time to get my toes done. A few friends (and my husband) thought I was crazy for putting a pedicure on my list of things to do before the surgery. I [...]

Surgery Day

February 19, 2010

It’s a few days post-surgery now. I’m not quite as drugged up as I was in the beginning, but it’s pretty painful if I don’t have some type of heavy paid medication in my system. I keep feeling like I’m a wimp for taking the medication, but if it’s available to me and I’m hurting, [...]

What to Expect Pre-Op for Achilles Surgery

February 16, 2010

I would like McDreamy to be my surgeon tomorrow, and I’ll take a side of McSteamy. Ok, ok, in all seriousness, this is how things rolled out for my surgery. For many people who read this blog, this is probably pretty boring, but I want to let people who are considering achilles surgery know what [...]

Update

December 7, 2009

I know, I know, I haven’t posted for a while. I am finding it hard to be a mother runner when I am not actually allowed to run right now. I haven’t run in about a month and a half and the achilles is still hassling me. It hurts, and it hurts a lot when [...]

The Strassburg Sock for Planar Fasciitis

June 10, 2009

Last night was “Night 1” of wearing the super sexy Strassburg Sock to bed. Interesting…different…odd…not horribly uncomfortable, but certainly not the comfort of freedom I’m used to either.
My podiatrist recommended the Strassburg Sock above all other socks or boots designed to combat planar fasciitis. I went to my favorite local running store, Fit Right Northwest, [...]
