Hey folks - I have posterior tibialis tendon disfunction and am about to get surgery for it. Basically a tendon that wraps around my ankle is all frayed and a little torn and won’t repair itself, so my arch is collapsing. Conservative measures were unsuccessful. It’s a little unusual to get surgery this soon but I won’t be able to get back to playing (or running or jumping or whatever else) without it so needless to say it’s scheduled for next week. It’s a pretty tough surgery involving a tendon transfer (they can’t just sew up the bad one) and then breaking my heel and shifting it to get my foot back in alignment. It’s about 10-12 months full recovery - 6 weeks no weight bearing, 6 weeks in a walking cast / boot.

Normally you don’t see this in people my age (26F) and normally it doesn’t happen as acutely and suddenly as it did for me. I have an an abundance of very strong and incredible friends or frisbee acquaintances who have had ACL surgery so I’m getting some recovery advice from them, but I’m curious if any frisbee people have dealt with this specific issue. I haven’t known anyone who’s experienced it AFAIK.

If you’ve dealt with this, how was your recovery? What was your experience? Is it really 10-12 months? Can I fly out to regionals to watch my team and go to the Jungle concert at red rocks while I’m non weight bearing 4 weeks after surgery or is that insane? TIA!

I was a different woman when I woke up this morning. I was driven. I was ready to move on. “I’ve explored enough”, I told myself. “All I’ve been doing is boss after boss the last couple days. I know the path forward, and I’m ready to go.”

I even searched for help! I may not have posted along the lines of “help how do I get to act 3” but I’ll admit it - I was reading Hint posts in my impatience to get there. I rushed through >!finding a couple more fleas.!< I looked up where to find the >!charm that sets your nail on fire!< because I’d been looking for hours! I beat >!Lace 2 and GMS for the first ending!< more quickly than I expected! I got >!the trap materials and rushed back to the fight!< as soon as I could. I believed I was ready.

What a fool.

Here I lie in the bed of my own making, FRIGHTENED and IN OVER MY OWN HEAD at the start of Act 3. I prayed for days like this and now that it’s here all I want is to GET BACK TO ACT 2. I’m so SCARED. I’m WEAK and already dying several times to the first little gauntlet which I’m sure is just to show me how FUCKED I am for the rest of the game.

Let this be a warning to you. If you are eager, nay, frothing at the mouth to get out of Act 2 purgatory like I was mere hours ago, just remember that purgatory is BETTER than HELL.
