Hang in there. My buddy had a torn tendon in his ankle. He had to have one taken from the out side of his foot to replace the torn one on the inside. Been a year and 2 months. He says it's looking good now. I'd hate to have seen it when it was bad. Now that it's good, it's still about 3 times as big as his good ankle. He is a skinny guy though.Jan 5. Saw doc yesterday. Legs swollen drastically. I've been wearing compression socks that don't seem to do anything, legs still swollen when I take them off nights.; He uped my Lasix (pee pill) doseage to 20mg 2x day.
Appointment for lube/'oil on car this morning 9am. Clear sky, slight breeze looked like more split/pile when back...Nope, legs so painful I couldn't bear to walk to the tractor - that usually clears it up IF I can get that far. Sitting around the house for the rest of the day doing nothing I guess.
Take it easy and do what you can, you're retired, no need to push it.
