Thanks everyone. I am now home after getting a broken heel bone surgically repaired. I lost my balance and some how hit the back of my heel on some bricks on a brick planter. Went to urgent care and they took some x-rays and it was determined that I broke my heel bone and possibly ruptured my Achilles tendon.

Urgent care advised that I should immediately go to Henry Mayo hospital and have the orthopedic surgeon prepare for an emergency surgery. I hated being in there since you are not allowed to have any visitors. They made me take the COViD test which came back negative. I had surgery yesterday and did not rupture my Achilles Tendon. In the picture below you can see the tendon is still attached to part of the broken heel bone.

Thankfully the surgery went well and now having to learn to use crutches all over again and am waiting for my friend to let me borrow his knee scooter which should help with being mobile.

Thankfully I am on the road to recovery although I think it will be a slow drive. The surgeon put a splint on it for now to let the swelling go down. I have an appointment with him on Monday to take the splint off and cast my foot. I think it will be easier to deal with once the cast is on. I cannot put any weight on it and should be getting my knee scooter today which should help me being mobile. Crutches suck.

Thanks again everyone for the well wishes, It means a lot to me and my wife.

 

[waterboy]

the crutches are difficult, borrowed a knee scooter and what a difference, cruise around now. They are putting me in a regular cast next Thursday

The latest update on my broken heel situation. I had my appointment with the orthopedic surgeon on Tues, July 21st to take an x-ray and determine if the bone has healed to start physical therapy. The x-ray revealed that the bone is healed, however, one of the screws that holds the bone together is backing out and it needs to be removed before I can start physical therapy.

Because of this, the I'm scheduled to have surgery on Aug 3rd at the surgery center to remove the screws. The surgeon says I need to get COVID tested 3 days before the surgery.

I can finally start physical therapy after the stitches are removed from this surgery.
