Le plongeur avec attitude...
As a few of you know, I partially tore my Achilles tendon over three years ago. I have endured so much pain and immobility these past few years that I can not remember a time when I walked easily. This immobility has also caused me to gain at least 60 pounds which makes the condition even worse.
About three weeks ago, I miss stepped as I was leaving one of my favorite restaurants in Tarpon Springs: Mykonos. It appears that the tear is now close to %95 and I can simply not function. Dr Hoover will detach the ligament, repair it, smooth the bone spurs that helped to cause the tear and then re-attach the tendon. I will be in the first cast for six weeks, which means that I will be heading to Moscow while still in a cast. It will be another six weeks after that (three months) before I get to dive.
I would appreciate your thoughts and prayers as I try to adjust to this even greater immobility.
