I suffered a torn Achilles tendon about ten years ago and saw a podiatrist called Dr. Johnny Wu who put me in a black boot for TWELVE weeks, NIGHT AND DAY... I had to take if off only when I showered and carefully stand on one foot. He said if I faithfully wore it, I would not need surgery and he was right. He is up by the hospital.

I am known for giving the wrong advice and too much of it, but it worked and I really like Dr. Wu, even if he did graduate from Michigan.

Go Bucks.
