Thanks everyone ... Mikey that is some positive thinking ...while I won't be expecting to be running in seven weeks, I will be open to whatever happens and working hard at rehab ... Craig, my leg has already started to atrophy, even in just three weeks, my calf is considerably smaller than the other one ... it was shocking

Get better! Just keep in mind that we are in the summer doldrums and it's not prime time. You may be able to fish the fall run. Think positively.

No boat, back in the suds.

yes well it will continue so don't dispair. my big scottish (troll )
calf muscles have never been stronger....yet when i had my cast taken off
it literally made me cry because of how feeble it looked in comparison having
had no tactile sensory imput...for months

walking is technically falling forward with each leg and foot and the
overcoming of gravity pulling you downward,,, which is why in outer space
keeping muscle tone is so difficult... so don't let it bother you
...they'll soon be a matched pair once again
(you will remember)

after the Physical therapists from hell get done with you
heh heh heh

when i was in a similar condition

i pulled my john boat out of the van on crutches
and went rain fishin with my cast on...
despite "Doctors orders"

i am and always "will be" a REBEL
and defy authority...
a non conformist at heart

i took an extreme risk tho...........
so , it wasn't to smart thinking back
but i wore my heavy life preserver
and never took it off

i had tall double trash bags duct taped on
keeping my cast nice and dry
works well in the shower too

Good luck with the surgery Andy, I know a big boat we can get you out to play on when you get better, hang in there and heal up right. I will say a prayer for your speedy recovery.
