Update on Muscle Tear

by Gary on September 7, 2011

It was about three weeks about that I was playing racquetball and tore my calf muscle. Today I had an appointment with the doctor. He said it was healing well, and that I had “averted disaster” (i.e. surgery), I assume by following his instructions. I’m able to walk around without pain. The other day I went to Cloudland Canyon to play disc golf–with my boot and on crutches! As of today I’m officially free of the boot and the crutches. Now I start physical therapy. He said there would be about six visits. I asked him how long it would be before I could play racquetball again. He said about 3 weeks. Thanks for your prayers and concern.

That sounds good, but take it easy for awhile. Remember that you still must make a trip to Turkey. Dad

Yeah, I agree with Grandpa Tom. When I was doing physical therapy for my knee there were a couple of occasions where I felt so much better that I allowed myself to put a lot of stress on my knee which actually slowed the healing process (by several weeks even).
