He was being a overconfident on the crutches & fell over. That was a couple of weeks ago. From then until yesterday he's been in a temporary plaster. Yesterday he had an ultrasound scan of his achilles tendons and it was confirmed as torn again. So it's probably another 12 weeks in plaster (he's got a full, proper plaster on again now) and on Tuesday when he's back at hospital we may find out if this time, they'll operate. So he's likely going to have over six months of the year in plaser, we me acting as chauffeur for work & play, so I have no time to be on the bikes at all.
