Almost Back to Normal

Well, it has been just about five months and my Achilles feels like it is just about back to full strength.  My stride is almost completely normal again and I can easily carry things and walk up and down stairs.  I did a lot of yoga over the last month, which was REALLY helpful.  I could tell that, towards the end of the month, I was able to do MUCH more than I could at the beginning.  For example, I can easily balance on just my left leg now, whereas a month ago I could barely take my right leg off the ground.  Also, I attended a wedding last weekend and was a full go on the dance floor.  And earlier this week, I even got in a few games of beach volleyball.  Of course, I'm not jumping or running yet, but I'm getting close to that point.  Even when I'm able, I'll try to take it easy for a while because there is a greater risk of re-rupture within the first year.  Honestly, though, my tendon feels VERY strong right now and I don't think that's a serious risk (neither does the doctor).  But, in this case, I'd rather be safe than sorry...
