Tending to More than Torn Achilles Tendon

I don’t dribble and do lay-ups like Kobe Bryant but I managed to tear my Achilles tendon just like he did. Before my injury, I worked out with an extraordinary trainer a couple days a week and for years have been a walking addict, clocking 20-30 miles a week with my American bulldog, Molly. And I walk very, very fast. Or at least, I used to.
