Well I had my Achilles' Tendon put back together yesterday morning and had to spend a night in the hospital. Everything in the surgery went fine and I should have a full recovery. I couldn't keep anything down that day thanks to side effects from the anesthesia (that sucked). They were pumping me full of antibiotics the whole time but I still got a fever. They took care of that and I'm somewhat back to normal.
Now I'm home with this full-leg fiberglass cast that I have to keep elevated. My orthopaed gave me a full bottle of happy pills for the pain, but I haven't had to use them yet. The hardest thing I think I'll have yet is sleeping. I normally sleep on my stomach and this cast definitely won't let me do that. Oh well it's only for a few weeks - just counting down the days!
