He was putting the bike on the center stand yesterday in the garage and ruptured his Achilles tendon. He and the bike wound up on the floor.
They will be scheduling him for surgery this week ASAP

So sorry to read this, please let us know if there is anything we can do. I feel the need for a visit to a Hartford Hospital in the near future, if you get my drift...

My brother severed his achilles a couple of years ago and I know it was a long recovery. The one side effect to watch out for was weight gain Not getting around much and having food close is a primary trigger! Hope all goes well and you end up ahead of schedule. |
