Morgan was injured playing basketball mid-March. What he thought was a sprained ankle was actually a torn Achilles tendon. He went in for a doctor's appointment on March 30th and was scheduled for surgery the following morning at 7:30.
He spent 10 days with his left leg in an elevated position and in a splint. During this time it was easier for him to get around in a wheelchair. Of course this turned into more of an amusement park ride for the kids than anything else! Morgan was a good sport about having them go for rides in the driveway with him and even a race. Check out the video below:
Morgan was then in a hard cast for a week and on crutches. He is now in a boot and will remain in the boot for several weeks as he goes to physical therapy. One of those crazy things that happens when you least expect it! We are just grateful that he had pretty good insurance at the time and that he was able to get it taken care of quickly before residency starts in mid-June. The doctor feels that he should be walking pretty well by then. Our fingers are crossed!
