Anyone who has seen me in the last 7 months has seen be hobbling around. I finally got the definative answer as to why.
While in China last year, I got sick from the water. The docs gave me a common medicine called Cipro. It sometimes has a nasty side effect that causes tendon tears. Well I tore my Achilles Tendon. Luckily it wasn't all the way through, but it is bad enough that I have to have fairly extensive surgery to fix it and it takes a long time to rehab. I'm hoping I can get it back to the point so I can do at least some wheeling this spring/summer.
The funny part is that I had to have my left wrist operated on just before Christmas so when I get the ankle worked on, I can use both hands for crutches. This getting old crap is a bitch.:rattle:
