UPDATE!
First things first though...my physical therapist is from.... OTTAWA! We had lots to talk about and instantly bonded.
Second - its NOT a tear!! yay!!! I have achilles tendonitis, along with some arthritis in my ankle joint...I know thats shitty but what the hell, I can deal with THAT when I get there!
So, I am being put through agressive therapy - 3x a week for a month. Thank god for good medical insurance. Im so glad my network has GREAT doctors to choose from. My session includes means stripping/massaging the muscle, ultrasound, laser, stim and stretching exercises.
So they are saying about 4-6 weeks of adjusting my workout. I think I'll live :)
