I watched as a guy who had tore his Achilles tendon just a few months ago, was doing tripple axles etc. We are at about month 5 for TKO being post op Right? So why is TKO Still limping badly (*) And this guy is competing?
Now I know that most will say skating isn't as tough on you as football, and I say yes and no. Ice Skating is damn hard on the ankles specifically. Ask any sabre.
(*) here is what bugs me. I have been through a couple injurys sports related as bad as TKO's. I know at the 5 month point I wasn't limping at all. In fact my therapist was damn sure of it. Was I lifting heavy? No. Running hard? No. but my 'gait' was normal and I had normal functionality. I spent 6 weeks in a fixed brace and 5 more in a brace that was adjustable on the range of movement.
I just want to see TKO back 100%.
BTW I have read that peterson LB from San Fran might be cut/ Traded this offseason. It is anywhere from demanding too much money, to can't perform up to the level to warrant the money due to his Achilles injury he had suffered.
This is why I don't see posey going anywhere this offseason. There is no way TKO no matter how much he thinks nor wills it, will be back to 100% for the 06 season. Let him rotate in with Posey while allowing the Achilles to fully get back to normal.
