My final appointment with my orthopedic doctor was Friday. He's released me from the boot, and I'm basically done with the whole tendon ordeal. Three long and tedious months. I still have a few weeks of physical therapy left, and I'm not supposed to do anything sporty for the next three months or so. Everything else is back to normal though. Regular shoes, regular routine. It feels fantastic.

Oh, and to preemptively answer: No, looking back on the last three months, they did not 'fly by'. It was long and annoying. I hope to never go through it again.
