To day was my first follow up from surgery. Dr. Berlet is one cool guy. No Bull and take one step at a time, we are on the same page. I had 5-6 questions all answered prior to me asking anything. I had a hard time keeping up w/ him. Luckily, V was there to hear it as well.
1. It looks "great" w/ "minor" swelling
2. It was a partial tear of the Peroneal Breves Tendon. No idea what caused.
3. The remainder of the parts and pieces in the ankle around the region look "very good"
4. Items #2 and #3 will shorten my return by nearly 6 weeks or better.
5. B/C of the early catch and repair Doc wants to "push" recovery. Not stupid push just push.
6. Stationary bike 1 -2 wks out.
7. Rehab 2-3 wks out. I'm ready when I can "walk in the removal cast w/o pain".
8. P/T will transition out of the removal cast to a ankle brace in 4-6 weeks.
9. Next follow up in 6 weeks, April 6th. 4 days before D-day for TOSRV (bicycle tour in May).
That's the next 6 weeks. Push and listen to my body. Cycle early, resistance train and get to P/T when I can walk w/o pain. Thanks to V she's been great and to my friends network for the support. T

Pixie and Dixie and Mr. Jinks
By the way most of you know I'm a terrible speller. I have been made fun of for years about my email address "jinks". It was based on a 60's cartoon character from Pixie and Dixie. Well on youtube today I found the old cartoons in full. Many episodes for those interested. Watch the intro and pause when the names come up. Jinks is spelled correctly in this case it is not Jinx. What little redemption I have from this was lost last night when I miss read "two lovers" as "t wolves". That will be up the w/ Tijuana burger. Pronounced by me as "Ti-junia" burger to the waitress at Max and Erma's after many drinks.
