I shattered my calcaneus and had a avulsion fracture of the posterior tribal tendon, not sure with attachment. My 2 hour scheduled surgery took 6.5 hours.
The worst part was the non weight bearing.Crutches are brutal. I didn't use a scooter because I'm stubborn but I would highly recommend it. I started dealing with some pain between my shoulder blades from those stupid things and it still bothers me today. You can get collapsable crutches to travel with.
Physical therapy is dumb. Aside from some mobility stuff that you can seriously find on youtube, it's of little value. Swim and bike, squat when you are full weight bearing.
I was told by my physical therapist and the surgeons PA that I will never run a remarkable distance again, or even walk too far without discomfort and something about a 18 month to two year recovery period. Today I'm 6 months and a few days post op, I rode 43 miles, and followed it with a 5K run. At 12 weeks your bones will be healed, the rest is on you.
