May 3 - Orthopedist Consult

On Thursday (April 29) I was given the name of an Orthopedic firm in the Cincinnati area, Wellington Orthopedics. I called them and was directed towards an Orthopedic Surgeon in Blue Ash, Dr. James Leonard. I set an appointment with Dr. Leonard and met him for the first time today. He examined my injury, discussed the goals that I wanted to accomplish, and we agreed that physically repairing the achilles through surgery was the best option for me. He actually had a time slot the very next day, and we decided to move forward. Aside from my wisdom teeth being taken out, I had never had surgery before, so I was a bit nervous. Dr. Leonard showed me exactly what they would be doing, and laid out a basic timeline for me so I would know what to expect with my recovery. He was very informative and very willing to answer any questions I had about the situation. I would highly recommend him to anyone that would need a similar type of procedure.

I filled out some brief information about my medical history with his assistant, and confirmed the surgery time for 10:30 am the next morning.
