My son tore his Achilles tendon. When he was operated on, he was full of optimism, sure he would be back ski racing in a year at most. Guess what? Reality happened. It is almost two years and his leg is not the same. He can ski recreationally but that is it. I always felt that Evan is not physically the same as he was before the injury, just like my son.
It is something you cannot know in advance, how well you will heal from a difficult injury. Kids are always so optimistic. Think of Alissa Czisny's hip repair. It didn't allow her to return to skating.
It is true that it isharder to lift 120 lbs than to lift 100 lbs. I always felt that was what the problem was, but there is no way the guy can say that.
