I'm just over 4 months into my recovery from a ruptured Achilles tendon. I think I will be able to safely return to climbing in August, maybe.
It's been a bit of an emotional journey with lots of dips. I thought I'd be able to return sooner, once I could fully weight my toes. However there's more strengthening to do and a rerupture would be back to the beginning again.
Well reasoned words. What actually happened was I tried to climb, I even sneakily pulled on some holds outside
Nothing serious, just a damp visit to Porth Howel. All excited I went to my physio the next day."Returning to climbing would be a bad idea"
What does he know. . I'll text a bouldering physio..
"Not yet"
Next climbing physio.
"Keep strengthening "
Begrudgingly I aquiesced.
So it's been quiet on here, quiet on my Instagram too, just pictures of my distraction hobby; isopod breeding.
It's the invertebrate enthusiast equivalent of pigeon fancying, very geeky.
Other than that I've been trying to score parenting points, took one of my boys for a wild camp.
We got wet.
Other than that, micro-exploration continues. I have even made a second cleaning visit to This
I was surprised to find some of the holds still clean
