Thanks for all the help guys. I'm in the gym now training around the limitations I have. I'll deal with it, it's not the end of the world by any stretch. So I no longer have a golf swing... big damn deal. I can still hunt and fish. I thought about getting back into skydiving as my son became of age, but with my current range of rotation, I would be in a perpetual left turn. A little right rudder might correct it though. For now, my smashed calcaneous is what's occupying most of my time. When they said it would be the hardest part of this ordeal, they were right.

Blitzz, on your recommendation, I discussed the acedic acid/ionto idea with my surgeon and the therapist back over the summer. The surgeon said that the ossification was too deep for the acid/ionto to have any effect on it.

Red, I didn't have any steriods injected yet. I do need to schedule an appointment with the doc, so I'll ask if it's necessary.
