Of Tendon & Trail
In March of 2009 I fell from my roof, a victim of bad judgment (my own) and gravity. This resulted in a new found respect for physics as well as a long journey of recovery from a torn quadriceps tendon. In order to remain (mostly) sane during this process, I wrote regular blog posts as sort of a recovery journal. My main post on the subject received numerous comments including some urging me to put together a book relating my experiences. I finally decided to take that advice.


This concise (well, very concise) book contains the tale of my tendon and my road to recovery. If you have suffered from a tendon tear, you should find some interesting and useful information in the book about what happened to you and what you can expect in your own recovery. If your tendon is fine, then you will still find some interesting information as well as a tale of recovery that should prove entertaining. You will laugh, you will cry. Well, probably not. But at least you will learn about heterotrophic ossification. In the end, isn’t that what really matters?
