Phone Call with Ben

I was sharing my situation with my friend, Matt, and he suggested that I connect with Ben because he went through a similar situation.  Ben and I talked for about 45 minutes.  It sounds like we were similar situations.  In fact, Ben also had Dr. Porter perform his surgery.  He shared his experience with me, and he made sure to emphasis physical therapy.  He said that was what really seemed to help get him better.  He was very aggressive with the stretching and strengthening.  I'm not sure if it will be enough time, but for the next 2 weeks (leading up to my June 25th appointment) I will really emphasize stretching in conjunction with the running.  This main consisted of heel drops, 1 legged squats, terra band work, and balancing.  I kinda feel like this my last ditch effort before surgery.  I just don't know if 2 weeks is enough time, or if it will really make a difference.
