Good to know. Thanks.

I sort of wish I could point to a "why" like that -- I haven't been on antibiotics, I stretch pretty good before physical activity, I'm in decent (not great) shape. Yet, here I am (again...ACL in 2006).

It was a strange feeling. I was playing defense, and turned to slide to a guy driving the cage. As soon as I did, felt an impact on my heel. My first thought was that someone either kicked me or took a swipe with their stick. I would have sworn I'd turn around and see someone standing over me...but there was no one there.

damnit.

I can walk...sorta. I actually just fell down the stairs, so I got that going for me.

I'm no doctor, but you might want to stop doing that.

Damn first your knee now your achilles?

Sorry to hear that I know it's a long rehab.

That is textbook. Remember a few seasons ago the 49ers LB accused LJ Shelton of legwhipping him and tearing his achilles. When they saw the replay they realized Shelton never touched him it just feels like you got hit in the leg when the achilles ruptures.

Yup. I went 20 years and maybe missed 3 games because of pulled hammies. Now two major injuries in 3 years. Getting old sucks.

Yep. Everything stiffens up except for the one thing you'd like.

Sucks. Yup. Sucks.

Hope the surgery went well!
