Achilles Last Stand!

[teeder]

What do you get when the "old man" tries to keep up with the kids playing football?

He ruptures his achilles tendon! Ouch! Talk about pain!

I have surgery Thursday and then it's a cast for 6-12 weeks!

Friday would have been my band's back-together gig after a 5 month hiatus. That's out now!

Ouch! Kevin that must hurt! Get well soon.

[peewee]

Yikes! That is a MAJOR drag, Kevin. Here's wishing you a very successful surgery and a speedy recovery!

[kiramdear]

So sorry to hear that. Hope you feel 100% again soon.

[teeder]

Thanks everyone!

OUCH!! Kevin, I hope your surgery goes well and and the healing process goes much quicker than expected!

Yikes!! Not a good injury to have, Kevin..... take it very carefully after you come out of plaster and don't overdo it!!

[jps]

Hopefully you will be heeled well enough to make MICRIO!!! Get better, my friend.

Sorry to hear of your mishap, Kev. The older you get, the more you need to warm up and stretch before exerting yourself. Fingers crossed for the operation, but enjoy the family waiting on you for a while. Oh, and with 6-12 weeks in a cast, your bass playing should really improve!!!

Kev,

Sorry to hear that. I've rehabilitated a few of them in my time, and it's a tough one. You'll have to work very hard in PT, so make sure you are prepared mentally and physically. Keep positive for the weeks ahead, and of course, good luck with the surgery.

If you have any Q's mail me...

Get well soon, Kevin.

[teeder]

Thanks again everyone!

Oh, and with 6-12 weeks in a cast, your bass playing should really improve!!!

That will take a lot longer than 6-12 weeks!

"Oh the sweet refrain, Soothes the soul and calms the pain,
Oh Albion remains, sleeping now to rise again...."


Get well soon man...

Sorry to hear about this Kevin,

Hope you heal quickly and are up and running again in no time!

[johnallg]

Thanks again everyone!

Great to see it hasn't affected your sense of humor! I'll be thinking of you tomorrow, Kev.
