I'm surprised that with such a major thing as the achilles... they had him start PT right away!
Poor guy!

His first PT was the day they took the cast off - which was 6 weeks after surgery. So his surgery was about 8 weeks ago. Part of the problem is him not grasping that he really needed to take it easy on his leg and let it heal. He has ALWAYS pushed himself when he has been injured. Played football (and other sports) with many serious game related injuries in his younger days (High School / College). IMO he is paying for that now - well actually he's been paying for it for years. Part of the reason he didn't finish college was because of a long term concussion he received in a football game. Failed that whole quarter because he couldn't learn anything new. Doesn't even remember what he did for those few months following the injury. They had to bench him for the rest of the Football season because he couldn't even learn a new play.
