Paul Santiago Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 DOWN! Bigtime pop in my heel. Went to the podiatrist today and was given a walking boot with an MRI probably on Monday. Walking boot doesn't do anything since I can't put pressure on my foot to stand so it's crutches and the boot. I asked about the recovery time and they said 6 weeks. I said 6 is okay, 7 is not. I'm not missing the Indiana match! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarge Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 hey Paul, I can't load mags with my left thumb for at least two weeks. Maybe we could work out a deal where you load em up and I can shoot the COF! Get well soon buddy! Don't forget MRPC is shooting steel tomorrow.

lcs Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 That really sux dude! There is always a good side--at least you have a pickup. Try crutches, the boot, and small car. Hope it heals quickly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Santiago Posted June 10, 2011 Author Share Posted June 10, 2011 Thanks guys. Chris, I was playing racquetball. Finished getting my bike ready for the escort and went to the gym for my workout. Went against that little voice when someone asked if i wanted to play. Kevin - that sounds like a GREAT Idea!!! The truck is much easier to get in/out of than my wife's little car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Santiago Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 Good News - not so good news... Good news, just a minor tear, surgery needed, 14 days in a boot and then a checkup from there. not so good news... 14 days in a boot could have been worse.

JakeMartens Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 The boot sucks. I had plantar fascia released on my left foot 3 years ago, it took sometime to feel right after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-Ho Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Ouch!! I've had mine "ripped" several times and my feet are much better for it. After the first time I would have beaten the person who did it but I couldn't walk for a little while. Get well soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go back in 3 weeks for a check up. Thanks though!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
