Over the last 2 weeks, close to normality seems to have returned to my achilles. The tubular bandages which I often felt a need for and the ibuprofen gel next to the bed have not even been considered for use.
My stretching exercises continue everyday and the stairs at work continue to be trod up and down as I get calls to different desktops for support and I feel no suggestion of weakness.
Lynne and I spent last week in the Trossacks including a 5 mile walk with over 1000ft ascent after which I felt very mild tenderness in the left for a short while and then another walk with a very steep 450ft ascent. After these climbs and 600 miles of driving with clutch foot hovering I am not detecting any problems.
Hoping to get on the Treadmill on Thursday and intend to be a LITTLE more adventurous having resisted the temptation for several weeks.
I know that I mustn't be too optimistic but I also mustn't shy away from developing strength and flexibility, I keep reminding myself that I could easily undo the good work and all would be lost.
