Achilles tendon injury

Thanks for the best wishes. Specialist very happy with progress this morning. Four weeks more in plaster, then a boot-thing for two weeks!
As for my boots, they are already specially-customised top-of-the-range Salomons from a couple of seasons ago. It helps to have a very close relative in the trade - and access to some of the very best bootfitters in Europe!

Out of plaster today! And into an orthopaedic boot (a bit like one of those Nordica knee-high boots from the very early 1980s!). Specialist very pleased - ski holiday about to be booked in celebration!

:thumbup: Good news - where are you going?

Most excellent news :thumbup: 8)

LOTA, whilst that is excellent news, please just be very careful how you go over the next few weeks.

Great news LOTA, but don't overdo it!

Thank you for the good wishes and sage advice. I've become very good at sitting down over the last six weeks - and don't intend to give up that hard-earned skill in the next few weeks.

Admin, the plan is Solden - Wednesday to Wednesday in January.

Steady, Lota, you are describing my previous pair of boots!

Glad you are coming good!
