So today was pretty eventful for me. I went to the ankle doctor again to figure out what was next in the process since my Achilles, while slightly better, and was not improved enough for me. First of all, he told me that my Achilles was still “very bulbous and inflamed”. Then he gave me a couple options – neither of which I was thrilled about. The first option was to wear an immobilization boot and then follow it up with some additional therapy. The second option was surgery (to reconstruct), the boot and then more therapy. Hmmmmm. I chose the boot and therapy option first.
I informed him that I had ACL surgery and really wasn’t interested in surgery because of the long and tough recovery. He agreed and said it would be about the same recovery. Ick. The only difference would be that I could not drive at all because my right ankle is the problem. Ugh. Needless to say, I am now wearing a space age boot, I am setting my appointment to get the MRI done and hopefully I won’t need surgery. Say some prayers!
