Day 4 Post-op Achilles tendon repair. Pain pump has been removed and normal sensation has returned.

So I’m starting light touch to my leg to keep my brain connection to my leg as normal as possible.

I’m very limited in what I can do postoperatively for my Achilles tendon repair, but I’m trying to stack all the healing tools together that I can. Using my SaunaBox Pulse Pro for the infrared and red light to help with swelling and inflammation management in my leg.

I’m treat my rehab journey as if I’m going back to playing NFL football. Although, I think my job as a dad is more enjoyable and more important.

You will not find motivation here, you will find discipline!

For all of my exercises, I did about two sets of 10. Making sure I did not go into too much muscle fatigue. I’m keeping the focus of recovery for my body on my Achilles. The stimulus was just enough to keep my muscles active and get my blood pumping. It’s very important to keep your goal of rehab at the forefront of what you’re doing.

Day 2 is a lot more pain than I expected!

Anyways, it’s important to be able to transfer safely without hurting your repair or put any weight through your leg. These are my two transfers of choice going to the floor.
