Seriously though, if the tendon has to grow back, it’s probably a good sign that you can move it even a little. Like NewEnglandBob said, it looks pretty good considering the injury and close to two months of inactivity. Try to do what you can, don’t push things too hard, and best of luck for a continued steady recovery!

The only thing Chuck Norris is afraid of is my quads.

A real Chuck Norris fact: Chuck Norris is afraid of change, atheists, gays, liberals, strong women, judges, government, black people, Muslims, foreigners, the United Nations, black helicopters, bad sales of his book, a host of other stuff and likely even his own shadow – his columns at WorldNetDaily make him appear positively paranoid of everything.

My quads were completely withered when the brace came off.

Whoopee. Pat Robertson claims 2000

If you were a horse they would have shot you by now. Hope that helps.
