Anybody else ever rupture an Achilles tendon?

Guess now that I'm over 40 I can't be playing basketball with the kids anymore

Last night we were playing when I took a shot, went to go for the rebound and then ... POP ... I went down like someone had shot me. Loudest noise I ever had heard coming from my body. Knew it wasn't good so off to the ER, in a splint now and waiting for the appointment with orthopedic surgeon this afternoon.

Anybody else ever experience this ? If so, what was your recovery like ?

The ER doc told me to expect to be off it for 1-2 months so there goes the DE's I was planning on driving in March and April.

Best part is that 2 weeks ago we found out our divisional HQ was being shut down so trying to find a job now and interview on top of this is definately going to be a memorable experience
