I had mine replaced 2 years ago. It is a beast at first and super frustrating. Be patient though, you definitely want to put a pillow under your heel while you are lying down. It hurts way bad but you will be thankful you did it in the future. Other than that stick with your PT schedule, move and walk around as much as you can, when you are cleared to run hit the treadmill as often and as hard as you can. Also, if you can find some sort of sports therapy or recovery program, do it. The stronger you can get your leg, the more comfortable you will be when you get back on the water. Just be warned, its gonna be about 9 months before that happens give or take. Good luck mang!
