Walked on it 2 weeks before we figured out it was a complete tear. 3 months after the operation I stepped in a hole and tore my calf from the top of the achilles, estimated 70%. We could not operate this one, as the bottom was shortened as it is. This past April, while playing baseball my knee (sam leg) sort of gave way while running after a ball. I caught it, but my knee started to crack. long story short, torn meniscus 3 degree. Operation was 12 weeks ago. I was back on the ball field 13 days later. Now my leg press is around 500 lbs (was over 800). I've had to become a bit of an authority in the field of recovery.
And here I thought that sports and being physically active was supposed be good for you..

When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
