the damage

just got the word today that i have a fully ruptured posterior tibial tendon and a very minor rupture to the achilles tendon... all of which means "foot no work good". this stems from my bike wreck 2 sundays ago.

these are snapshots of my MRI. in the first, i believe the thick white line behind my ankle is the tendon in question. the damage is the dark area above the ankle... i think. in the second, you see the damage to the achilles in the dark spot on the achilles. note that i don't know anything about reading MRIs.

going into surgery on friday. very bummed about it. especially b/c of the lengthy healing process. probably 4-6 weeks in a cast, then the rehab. in total, this could take a few months to get up and running again.

can't believe this is how we're starting our trip together.
my dad used to say: "take care of your body... its got to last you".
what fucking luck!
