Snapped my Achilles playing Volleyball

[nookmumracing]

Completely ruptured it last thursday playing volleyball. Out for 6 weeks then rehab. The worst popping sound ever but it never hurt until i tried to walk on it. Any good car site, reading material, old school movie recommendations? Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated. Loungin at home for a bit......:cry:

good luck with the recovery man, my friend in high school snapped his achilles in one of our football games, had to have surgery.

sorry to hear dude, that is going to be a shitty time to recover, maybe just jack a bunch of your friends car magazines, you can kill hours reading those.

Achilles injuries are bad! My family all has very bad achilles.
I wish you a speedy recovery. and no more problems down the road.

My Dad just finished his two months with the casts (Walking and hard) after the same injury Its been about 3 months, and he still limps around.....whatever you do, dont push the time they suggest, you dont want this happening again! Have you had surgery already?

[nookmumracing]

Happend Thursday, went into emergency, they told me I'm staying over and having surgery the next morning. T3 with Codene IBprophen has been my diet for the past week.......
I heard after it heals it strengthens it with extra scar tissue so it won't snap again....

ouch, sorry to hear that man.

A coworker of mine did the same thing playing volleyball.

Hope you make a quick recovery!

Shit man, that sucks. i remember that happened to be during a soccer game in 01 at provincials, I didnt fully rupture it, just about 85% tear. I was in physio for 5 months trying to get mobilty. still swells up to this day.


Go to rogers and walk down their old school movie seciton and just grab a handful of em :thumbsup:

oh no! feel bad for you how was the surgery?

[ZorroAMG]

I was born with a short Achillies tendon and had an operation when I was 4 or 5 to lenthen it....I slacked on my physio as a kid (who the hell wouldn't at 5??) and through my youth and it's never been perfect (loss of mobility and flexibility). I also limp if I don't pay attention (heel toe stepping) and it sux, DO ALL THE PROPER EXCERCISES AND physio regime....trust me.

Thanks Zorro, surgery went well I guess. Doc said it was a compete rupture but he was able to put it back together. I was so knocked out when it all happened. Talking to the doc and then a minute later I'm waking up, drugged up. The nurses at Rocky View Hospital are awesome......Catered to my every need......Mad props to them:thumbsup: I find it hurt more after the surgery than before the surgery....Got a 100 pack of T3'swith codene:thumbsup:

Shit Shuichi, glad to hear youre ok. Looks like you're going to be on Beyond quite a bit from now on. The young and dangerous series should keep you busy for a few days, Ive got the entire set let me know if you want to borrow.

go watch naruto!!!

kills lotsa time!

[BerserkerCatSplat]

Shit, Achilles injuries are nuts. I remember a few years back when a guy on my hockey team got stepped on during a game while he was down on one knee in the corner, the skate severed his tendon completely. Nasty stuff! I hope ya get better soon, these kinds of injures are nothing to sneeze at.

I'd recommend picking a couple of series to watch ( I notice Dragonball and Naruto have been mentioned), I would probably go for Hellsing, and then watch Evangelion until I hate myself. ;)
