My mom left and went on vacation to Maui on Oct 16th that following thursday the 21st i got a call at work and my mom had been in the water in Maui and was trying to escape a big 7ft wave and was slammed to the ground and she felt a pop she thought we either broke her ankle or ruptured her achillies tendon. She called from the urgent are center and told me that she would be staying until they leave to come home on sunday that she is to be on aspirin and elevate and ice her foot and drink Mai Tai's heheh :)
She got home and I took her to NWOS and she was told her did rupture to achillies tendon.
She was set up for surgery that next day. Surgery went well she was told she shredded her tendon he fixed it all back up. She is in a cast and at home now recovering she is to be in the cast for two weeks and to have her cast taken off and stitches out then to be put in a walking boot.
Hope her recovery goes well and she is back on her feet soon :)
