Dont worry, its not that bad. I did mine 8 weeks ago and I am just about right now. Have a slight limp and a bit of swelling too but thats all. Just make sure u keep moving and stretching and find a good Occupational Therapist.
Good luck.

rupturing the achilles tendon has happened to me not once, but twice! the first time was march 11th 2005 on my right foot...and get this, march 11th 2008 it happened on my left! weird huh? Did both playing basketball...doing the exact same thing: Exploding on the first step to the hoop. I had went through 3 different casts back in 05 ( with surgery ) and with the left one, i wont be wearing a cast at all..just a boot for 2-3 months(had surgery on left also with the tendon transfer)NO more bball!

Well but of luck with your recovery. I am now post 8 weeks and the only sign of the injury is a slight limp and a bl%%dy big scar !!
I have been riding 20km a week for 4 weeks and been stretching heaps and weight training.
Due to go skiing in 4 weeks and I should be ok.
Best of luck with your recovery.
