Yup. I knew it was bad from the tone of his voice when he called me from work and asked me if I could come right away and drive him home...in the MIDDLE of the day! Paul was playing ultimate frisbee at work on Monday during lunch and he said he turned quickly and sprinted for the frisbee when he heard a loud "Pop!" Unfortunately, after a few Drs. appointments we found out that he has completely ruptured his achilles tendon. He is scheduled to have surgery to repair it on Friday morning. Paul is such a trooper. He hasn't complained even once about the pain he is in. I think more than anything he is bummed about the months ahead of recovery. This is a guy that never goes more than 2 days without working out or "playing" outside or he claims he can't sleep at night.

Oh my goodness!!! Sorry to hear about this.
Bummer!!
that stinks! :(
Paul,
You might want to commiserate (spelling?) with Uncle Paul. He had the same unfortunate injury playing volleyball a number of years ago. What is it about these sports injuries? :) Hang in there...we'll be praying.
