Primary Care physician visit

While we rested Nicole's ankle, we were able
to continue our October tradition.

"It's fine," he says as runs his right hand over Nicole's tendon. "There's no damage that I can see."

I can't believe my ears. The pessimist in me fully expects to hear the worst. Four days of rest, ice, and ibuprofen have paid off. Dr. Krumeich explains:

"The Achilles tendon is like a Nylon chord. That never fails. When somebody does tear a tendon, it's almost always at the joint, where it connects to the bone. In your  case, that's fine."

The source of Nicole's agitation, he determined, was a side to side lateral motion. He suggests an old-lady style compression sock as a preventative measure. We're excited. Can we start out again, slowly?

He says yes.

We thank him for expertise and burst out of the doctor's office. The trip shall continue!
