2+ year update

I waited about a year to start playing pick-up soccer again, and even then I didn't go full speed.  After about 14 months, I finally started playing competitively and was amazed at what I could do.  I still felt it at times, but now, about 26 months in, it's basically back to normal.  The tendon has become a bit thicker and there is some tough scar tissue around my calf, but all in all, it's fully function.  I'm back playing pick-up and competitive sports and weight training at the gym again.  I was just thinking about how devastated I was when I first received the news that my achilles was ruptured.  If I had only known how successful the recovery could be, I would have saved myself a TON of stress.
