Dean Achilles tendon injury and recovery 6/26/2016

While at youth conference, on June 25, Dean snapped his achilles tendon trying to run up a wall.

 Off to have surgery.  June 30, 2016

  With Braden and Hanna's baby being born 4 days before Dean go hurt, and Mike and Amanda and kids moving in with us just a couple days later, (Mike and Amanda had moved out of their Heber home, but still had to be in Utah for a conference), we had good reasons to have lots of visitors.(sorry I didn't get a picture of all of them)

Most of his days were spent out on the deck, or in bed watching movies with grandkids.

or in the recliner with his foot up on pillows.

 After 2 weeks of his foot up above his heart, it was time for the cast to come off.

 Now he would be in the boot for 4 more weeks, and starting physical therapy.

Dean hasn't been able to go to Montana until now.  With the boot, he thinks he can do everything!

 ...and just like that, he can walk again.  Amazing!  (He needs a lot of work on walking without a limp)

He is officially done with the doctor.  Now just a lot of physical therapy.
