Please pray for me y'all

Hey people. The power of prayer never hurts, so here goes.

Saturday, I ruptured my achilles tendon playing soccer and tomorrow I go in for surgery to have it repaired. Needless to say, I'm a little nervous about the whole thing.

Please pray that the surgery will go smoothly and that the recovery will be quick.

The power of prayer is miraculous. A ruptured achilles tendon is serious. I am praying for you now and will tomorrow morning also.

Thanks. I'll let you know how it went once I am not all doped up and can get back online.

I'll pray for you!

A few years ago, my poor dad ruptured BOTH of his achilles tendons at the same time. All he did was fall down on our driveway, but he was in a wheelchair for three months. I pray you will recover quickly.

Hey SAP. You know I'll pray for ya! I hope the operation went well. Here's to a speedy recovery!

Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes.

I am now back at home. I'll fill you in a little.

As I said before, I tore my achilles tendon while playing soccer Saturday morning. Initial examinations by a couple different doctors said 80-90% torn. After surgery, it turns out that I had suffered a complete tear of the tendon. The surgeon made a 5 inch cut in my leg and pulled the ends back together. Fortunately, the ends were pretty clean (not frayed) and he was able to sew a couple large pieces together. Hopefully this will result in a very solid recovery. The stiches in the tendon are permanent. The surgeon said he was pleased with the result.

So I now have a temporary cast on and go back in a couple weeks to have the stitches in my leg removed and a different cast put on. That cast will then be on for another 6 weeks. Then I go back and hopefully have a walking cast put on. Total recovery time is an estimated 6 months and I may never get full muscle mass back in my calf. I plan on proving that wrong though.

So thank you all for prayer. Now I have to deal with the money issued involved in this. There is a gray area with the insurance that I won't get into. Let me just say that I ask for continued prayer that the money issue will work itself out.

God bless y'all

Update .....

Thank you all so much who kept me in your prayers.

It's been 3 weeks. Initial plans were to have me in a cast for close to 8 weeks before I was placed into a boot cast. Well, it's been 3 weeks and I am out of a cast and into a boot cast I can place some weight on my foot already and I have quite a bit of movement up and down in my foot. The doctor was impressed that my foot can almost move up to a neutral position before I start feeling any sort of pull or pain. This is good news. My calf on that leg has shrunk noticeably, but since I can put a little weight on that leg and move on it a little bit, hopefully that will begin to recover some of that muscle mass.

All in all, it sounds as though the healing is going very well and is quite a bit ahead of schedule.

In terms of the financial questions that I had ..... things seem to have fallen into place and it doesn't appear that it will be a problem. As always, God has taken care of me
