Day 5 incision pics

[Duck-Slayer]

It already feels like forever not being able to put weight on my left leg.... also i really have an appreciation of being able to just run and do a quick thing, for example hop up go grab a beer without and sit back down to watch a movie or go out and do chores which I enjoy doing or walking my goats whenever I feel like it..... I’m going stir crazy

Yeesh. Nothing like being down for the count for a little while to make one appreciate normal body function. I hope you heal quickly Matt.

That's just nasty!

 

[nidahunter]

That looks familiar....I had it done on both heels. It will totally be worth it in the long run!

 

[teej89]

yikes! Crazy looking! I can agree with you, when I dislocated my elbow and the first couple weeks I couldn't extend or bend without terrible pain, it felt like every damn task in the world was 1,000 times more difficult, even just putting socks on.

Don't f it up... Suffer once, don't let it get in your way more than once... Suck it up and do all and push your doctor for more though follow his/her direction.

Rub some dirt on it and walk it off

Thought you'd suggest duct tape... Haha!

Got my stitches out and shot the bow for the first time today with my wife and daughter, I get to start walking with boot and crutches this Thursday! I can’t wait, really hard being almost useless with my chariot lol

[JohnCushman]

Take it easy, dude. You don't want further residual issues later on down the road that sideline you again.

 

[fishing4sanity]

Good luck with getting over that completely and quickly!
Now, what is that, torn achilles or .......?

 

[Duck-Slayer]

Bone spur that grew under left half of my Achilles, they had too split my Achilles and cut the left half than grind off my bone spurs.

Oh man that’s ruff times , gnarly pics Matt , looking forward to seeing you up and full strength again ,

 

[FI460]

Oof... heck of an incision. Sounds like your progressing well though. Are you going to be cleared to go for opening day?

 

[Mudranger1]

Stupid ass scooters not good for offroad at all. Keep healing up. The boot is. Better than the scooter but still sucks ass lol.

 

[Duck-Slayer]

I’ve been trying to think of better tires for the chariot to go off-roading with....
Not sure about to much hiking but I’ll be sitting in a Antelope blind come Sept. 1, than depending on how physical therapy goes if I’ll be doing very much hiking, hopefully some since my daughter drew a great bull elk tag...

Matt, get better soon, before you know it, it's time to set out decoys in the mud, that'll tear up an unhealed achilles for sure.
