It is a long saga.
I tore my achilles tendon back in September last year, I was in a cast for 2 weeks and a boot for another 10. We cancelled our 7 week US trip which was October and November. My tendon only healed 20%, I now needed reconstruction surgery, which was scheduled for late March.
We did our trip to South America and Antarctica (January /February) along with a trip to Egypt in early March, but have cancelled a Japan trip in April and a European trip in June, with a July trip postponed to next year.
I had the surgery and have been in a boot ever since. I was able to go weight bearing 2 weeks ago so could get rid of the crutches. Am hoping to be out of the boot in the next few weeks.
Our next overseas trip is the US in September, but am doing a few domestic trips now I am off the crutches.
