Hi Guys!.

Well, I accidentally ruptured the Achilles tendon on my right foot (like anyone would do this intentionally) and I will be going into the hospital later today for an operating to repair it. It looks like I will be going to a rehab facility afterwards for an undetermined time. I will check in when I am able to. The boards will certainly give me a much needed distraction. Thanks in advance. Hopefully, I'll be back soon.

Surgery went fine, thank you. Finally got to eat, which I devoured. Nothing else to report at the moment. [snow_smiley]

Ouch, Uncle Roger!  I imagine that was a bit painful!  Keep off that ankle and get well!

Uncle Roger, are you still at the facility?

How are you feeling?

Take it easy on eating (especially if you had any type of anesthesia).

God speed.

Yes, I am still at the hospital. Not sure when they will be sending me to the rehab facility, maybe Thursday. No pain (haven't asked for pain meds either) and I am reasonably comfortable.

Glad it went well and that you're not in pain, Uncle Roger.  It's nice that you're still able to check in.  Good luck for the rehab.

They moved me to the rehabilitation facility tonight. There has been some pain, post surgery. Nothing I can't handle. Well, with the help of morphine and percocet. Gosh, I sound like Courtney Love! Nothing else on the agenda for tonight. We will see what tomorrow brings.  [snow_smiley] [snow_smiley]

They started me on physical/occupational therapy, which is essential because of the number of stairs in my apartment building. So far, so good. They seem pleased with my progress thus far. I am too! And I am very happy to report that I have been in very little pain.
