I ruptured my achilles tendon on 19 December 2017 playing a pickup game of basketball. I've chosen the non-operative (conservative / non-surgical) route and will document my recovery on this channel. My no 1 goal from this recovery is to return to my favourite sports as soon as possible - golf, skiing and tennis!
