On March 14th I completely ruptured my Achilles tendon and had surgery to repair it on March 30th. I'm wondering if any other mountain hunters here have had this happen to them and if there is any chance I will be in the mountains come September? I know this isn't anything to rush and have already accepted that I probably won't be hunting elk this year. Everybody recovers differently though, so I'm just looking for some success stories and advice. I can't put any weight on my right leg, so I'm trying to find different ways to get some kind of cardio in. Any ideas for this would be great. Another thing I'm worried about is footwear. Right now I wear Asolo boots but they don't have a very high back. I'm wondering if I will need a higher backed and stiffer boot? Any other advice or information you can think of would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
