One year ago today…

I didn’t hear any snapping sound like so many victims of Achilles’ tendon rupture say they do; I just felt that I had hurt my right leg. Since that fateful occurrence, I have made some fast progress into full recovery in spite of being… in my sixties! My skiing is the same – if not better – and I can walk, run and mountain bike without problem. The only things that are not quite the same is my repaired tendon that still looks quite a bit thicker than it used to, and my right calf muscle that remains significantly smaller than its left counterpart. Any thoughts or suggestions on how I could “blow” that muscle back to its original shape, or how long will I have to wait for it to catch up?
