it's been a bit over 4 months since the rupture and I'm able to walk pretty good. Still very stiff but the biggest issue is the strength. I lost a lot more muscle than I thought and the physical therapist wanted to take it slow cause she didn't want me to rerupture which she says happens when people push to hard. Last thing in the world I want is to start the process all over again. I'm getting stronger now and I can lift about 40 lbs with the injured leg. Still can't do single leg lifts yet. Originally I thought I'd be back flying around 5 months but I don't think that's gonna happen. Tendon is still more stiff than I like and the strength is not back to where I want. Based on my progress I'm guessing 2 more months and I'll be comfortable getting back in the cockpit. Fortunately my company gas good LTD and no one is rushing me back to work. It's getting boring though I'm itching to get back to work.
