Hope you have in home loved ones.
I am week 4 into Achilles surgery, live alone and my awesome nurse daughter moved hours away the night after surgery. Been hell here alone and it all starts taking me into dark thoughts with pain and needing to be in the woods with my lab, but thinking that may never get here. So I am sending you all my best vibes for a quick heal and hope all your loved ones pour that love and care on you.
Pain sucks !!! Be well fast. Better days ahead.
Now I know why the references to “your Achilles Heal” is all about the most vulnerable injury you can get. And that knee is right there too.
