Orthopedic Problem

Doing my usual workout which I enjoy so much, I heard a very, very loud explosion. Looked behind me and nothing was there. Then I realized the noise came from inside my leg! I could no longer stand up. After 5 hours in the emergency room I was diagnosed with a ruptured achilles. In soooooooooooooo much pain morphine and percocet did nothing at all:(

Went to surgeon the next day and he said it is torn and I also shredded another muscle in my calf.

Went for MRI the next day... another 5 hour wait:( Anyway, they confirmed the rupture but that I did it the opposite way they typically tear. Going to surgeon on Thursday and will find out what is happening next.

Sounds like surgery, 12 wks of full leg cast and a full yr. of rehab. Pretty painful and really interrupting my usual life and work flow... another part of life's chaos that I will need to deal with.
