Introduction Back in early April 2017, I completely ruptured my left achilles tendon playing ultimate frisbee. This was the first of many in my recreational sports career: my first major injury, my first surgery, my first time in a cast, and my first time on crutches. I went down with a sudden sharp pain and knew instantly that it was bad. It was pretty surreal reaching down to grab your ankle and feeling nothing where your achilles should be.
