Here's an update
On Easter Monday, while playing soccer with the extended family (ages 9 to 51), it felt like someone threw a stone and hit me in the middle of the calf. I heard a pop & that was it.
On Tuesday, April 18, the doctor at the hospital, called it a torn calf muscle, and said it would be 3 weeks before I was back running/cycling.
My mobility decreased during the week, to the point, where on Sunday, I could hardly move. I was not preaching that day, but had planned on visiting some friends in London. I didn't make it, I stayed home.
I went to Urgent Care on Monday, April 24. The doctor there called it a "ruptured plantaris muscle." That makes it sound worse! He also referred me to Waterloo Sports Medicine for physio.
I had my assessment today.
Yes it is a rupture or bad tear of the plantaris muscle.
Yes, they will do physio.
I'm now on crutches on have an aircast. [I don't have a digital camera, the picture is off the aircast website - it's my right calf that's injured.]
I start physio tomorrow.
He expects me to be able to do some gentle cycling within 6 weeks.
One of our elders came over today, and anointed me with oil & prayed with me for healing - we're trusting that God will bring healing and full recovery - soon!

Speedy recovery, in His Will - I know this will enormously affect your dance card, but then again with a foot like this(as seen it the picture) you may want to use it to be the hero on the point conversions!!! You could drive a football or soccer ball to Montreal or even Quebec City with a little practice!!!
