Went under the knife again today

[displacedinMN]

Heel spur surgery #2. Right foot.

Details in the spoiler for its gruesomeness.

Spoiler!

My heel has created more calcium and is pushing into my Achilles tendon.

So, I had the heel skin opened up,
The Achilles tendon INTENTIONALLY cut.
The heel ground down away from the Achilles.
A cut made in the upper Achilles to allow it to stretch out.
The Achilles tied back together and screwed into my heel

The skin sewed back up

Short version. Heel bone pushing into my Achilles tendon

All fixed

No flexing, pressure or DRIVING for 6 weeks. Then limited movement and physical therapy.

I have a knee cart. I just started oxycontin to stop future pain. (Hate it with all my being) Waiting for the nerve block to wear off.

So This was the best time to do it. Summer vacation.
I also have a 15 year old that will get a lot of experience driving.

Yes, I had this done to the right foot two years ago and have put this one off because of time and family issues. It was time to get rid of the pain.

So, if I post anything weird, blame the oxycontin.
