Introduction

So as many of you may know, on April 28th of this year I ruptured my achilles tendon while playing in an indoor soccer game at Wall 2 Wall sports in Mason, Ohio. After being a little upset and maybe even a little depressed about the recovery that lies ahead, I decided to do some research online. I found a few different blogs about similar injuries, and I have to say that it helped my attitude tremendously. I can see the timelines that others went through and the actual progression that they made. I've always been a "goal" person, and seeing what others have done is helping me (with the advice of my physical therapist) develop a plan of action towards recovery. Being as competitive as I am, of course I want to beat the progressions that others made, but I am keeping in mind that too much too soon can lead to devestating set-backs.

Over the next few days, I'll be trying to recall as much as possible from the initial day of the injury through my first day of physical therapy (today), and will continue to blog throughout the process of my recovery.

For friends and family, it will give you an update as to how things are progressing. For those that experience a similar injury, I just hope that it might be able to give you the same motivation that I received when I read the blogs of others.

So look for updates and keep in mind I'll be posting some picutres--the early ones are not for the faint of heart!! (this means you, Norfleet!!)
