So you contacted all of these services and offered them to make a video promotion and only Joy accepted… how much did they pay you?

I had my stitches out at 10 days post op

Well, I played basketball every day in my 20s and 30s ... but I waited until two weeks ago (at age 66) to tear my Achilles. Having been severely injured in the military many years ago, the recovery timeline for this doesn't necessarily frighten me. But I am concerned about not being able to heal properly at my age. I just got my cast off and stitches out today, 13 days after surgery, and I am shocked at how much the calf muscle looks atrophied already.

Alexa, I find your Achilles videos very helpful, I am mapping your experiences and timeline to mine. Currently, I am on week 3 post surgery and feel I am a little behind you. Mostly since my rupture the two ends were shredded and thus maybe a little more involved to repair. I truly appreciate hearing your journey. My best!

The even up works as it should. Ask me how I know. I have had 3 surgeries on my ankle in the past year. Including a complete ankle replacement.

So helpful!!

Well rounded video.

Just ruptured my right Achilles July 6th, getting surgery this Wednesday. Definitely not looking forward to months off my bikes. Thanks for putting this video together. Helps knowing what is to come.

I have to have a ct scan done to see if I ruptured my Achilles or nor

(1) How do I add the list of guests I am inviting? (2) Does the website allow me to import names and emails from Google contacts? (3) does the website track RSVPs and tell me who has accepted and who has not?

How can guest upload the photos? What are the options?

These videos are so helpful, thank you for creating all of them! I’m 8 days post-op and go in 6 days to go from cast to boot. The cast has been SO heavy and uncomfortable, does the boot feel more comfortable? I am just curious if the boot will be as uncomfortable when I am not elevated as this heavy cast is. Thanks!

I'm watching these videos as the weeks come up for me.. im at 6 weeks post op now.. great video!!

You forgot the most important part is the reservation page for guest to go in and make the reservation

Where do i go to add accommodation options to the rolling home page.

this loser ripped off a swedish aus person and only has 20 year old notes with no value!

I'm 49 and having surgery on July 3rd, and I'm nervous about having my surgery. I've been told 8 weeks of non-weight bearing. I hope I don't fall using the scooter. 😅😅

It's been 3 weeks since the operation. The first day after the operation I returned to work, I'm a beautician. After 7 days I stopped walking on crutches because it was impossible for me to work with them. I'm afraid that my tendon will stretch too much and thus lose its function. I have a tecar therapy machine in my salon and I use it every 2-3 days. I had an ultrasound a few days ago. The doctor says that the tendon is healing very well. I dance on the pole and I can't wait to go back to training and wearing heels. The doctor says that I will return to training in 3 months. Do you think it is possible?

Thanks.

I had surgery two days ago. Glad I found your channel. It’s nice to “commiserate” with others! I had the speed bridge repair plus my Haglund’s deformity was removed and they did Gastroc recession also. I was offered a nerve block but declined. I am taking Hydrocodone 3 x per day every six hours. So far I am doing well. I have a knee scooter which is so helpful with getting around my apartment.

Hey, 3 weeks after a rupture in my left playing football (soccer to you guys accross the pond.) Would you say your AH fully recovered? Or do you still feel it a bit a year on? Of course I understand its a bit different with you being pregnant during your recovery 😊

I really appreciate you documenting and sharing your journey through this. It’s been very helpful. I’m in the first week of post op of a full achilles tear repair (day 6). My doctor was pretty adamant that I keep my foot elevated (23 hrs/day) for the first week. Plan to drop it to 12 after tomorrow. I don’t get the splint off for another 12 days😢. The hardest part so far about this injury is NOTHING comes fast. Every little milestone seems to take a long time to hit. Ooh and sleeping…😵‍💫

Hi Alexa, thank you for sharing your experience on your Achilles recovery. Thank you!

Horrible injury. Fortunately you're young & apparently have support. Good luck on continued recovery! I'm dealing w/ a Haglund deformity in which the Dr. has recommended Achilles detach & reattach.. Much more risk w/ age & we older people by & large are not near as resilient. Thanks for good info!

You’re videos have really helped me through my daughters rupture. She is 12 weeks this week and we have watched your video for inspiration.

Wow she looks amazing for her age. I can't believe she's 57!

Hi! Thank you for these videos. I’m 2 months post op. Do you have walking shoe recs?

Thanks for sharing... I just had achilles repair and removal of a heel spur (that was causing the damage to my achilles) just over two weeks ago. For me, after the splint, they put me in a non-weight bearing cast that I'll wear for 6 weeks, then I go into a weight bearing cast for another 6 weeks (!), then a walking boot and PT. So I am in for it! I suspect because my injury was more a long-term stress thing then a sudden tear makes a lot of difference for how long I have to be in the cast. I was jealous of you getting to wash your let so soon after, haha! Happy you are making a full recovery!

Hi Alexa, Thanks so much for your videos. They have been so helpful both practically but more in terms of keeping hops up of returning to things I enjoy! I have probably missed it, but a quick practical question: At what point did you start feeling comfortable standing in a shower without boot or support or chair. The question is mostly around fear / headspace rather than mechanics. Cheers and thanks

My husband is almost 2 weeks postpartum after surgery, surgery is next week hope he can get the cast off and maybe be back in the boot 🤔… we plan a cruise months ago and supposed to go next month, I’m not sure how it’s going to go but he didn’t want to cancel it

Hi Alexa, did you sleep in your boot? My doctor said I didn’t need to.

Your videos are awesome. About to get my surgery.

Thanks so much for your videos❤

I've been binge watching your videos for my wedding! Thank you so much for your work!

1 week post op and these videos are really helping. Have you had any issues with your achilles since this injury?

Congratulations on being a mum and thanks so much for making this videos. I’m on day 5th since my Achilles tore, I have a cast and I have been told that it’s my choice whether to go through surgery or not. I’m very confused and don’t know what would be best. I’ve heard that the chances of this happening again are less if you get the surgery and also that both paths will heal equally (Achilles strength ) but non surgical will take longer. What did you doctor said about that? Thanks so much !!!!

Surgery is this Thursday! Wish me luck , getting a partially torn Achilles repaired

Ooo interesting, my knee on my opposite leg also started to hurt a bit after jumping at PT for the first time post-op 🤔 Glad to hear I’m not the only one and that your pain subsided after a little more time! 🙏

These are helping me so much. Thank you. I have surgery Wednesday. I’m a mess mentally

Mine is Wednesday I’m in literally can’t stop crying I’m so afraid. These videos are helping but I’m very nervous

One thing I found out 2 wks. ago was that you may have jewelry made of gold or silver while having an MRI, but no other type of alloys. That's because I could not under any circumstance get my wedding ring off. I actually called the facility in the a.m. and asked them.

My surgery is wed next week. I’m afraid of being put to sleep 😢

I'm looking at Achilles repair for some tears and thickening, not a rupture. I was surprised to hear you got to do weight bearing so early. I think I will probably have to wait approximately 3 mos. Yikes!

What kind of pain medicine did they prescribe you?

Thank you so much for making all of these videos about your recovery journey! I ruptured my left Achilles on April 27th and had surgery May 7th. Your videos have been so helpful to watch!

How did you do this I’m so afraid (my doctor) he asked me to ditch the crutches and scooter and I can’t leave the crutches

How do you upload photos for guests after the wedding?

I have 5 completed months from surgery but while walking i am having in surgery area

I just found out I have a rupture. Just got a mri. Hoping it’s not that bad. I was in legit tears
