Description

That’s me, 2012. I did my Achilles in chasing young grandson, Milo.
My surgeon, Sud Rao, put me in a “moon boot” rather than operate, as at the time there was the chance of getting an infection at the hospital.
I hobbled for about six months and was allowed to take it off for 10 minutes for a shower. Even slept with it on.
