...ankle with a torn Achilles tendon will generally be normal, but simply examining the patient makes the diagnosis quite easy. Instead of the stout tendon, you feel mush with a hole or divot at the spot where it's torn. It's easy to compare with the other ankle. And there's a great test we do by squeezing the calf and watching the ankle move; on the good side, it wiggles up and down when we squeeze. On the torn side, there's no motion at all. Yes, there is an occasional partial tear that might be harder...
...pretty sure it was my Achilles, but I wanted an MRI to be sure. He just said 'fine' and gave me the prescription." I spoke with Frank and showed him the powerlessness of his ankle - the squeeze test. I even had him put his finger into the divot in his tendon. I tried to be gentle about bringing up the s word - surgery - but when I finally broached it, he shot back with, "But you haven't even looked at the MRI yet.

His first shot was a ground ball straight ahead. His next shot went airborne but created a divot that Obama walked out to pick up and replace...
Fifty-eight seconds after launch, a fragment of ice or insulating foam once again broke away from the shuttle's external fuel tank and - once again - left a deep divot in the ship's insulating tiles. It was foam damage that killed the shuttle Columbia in February 2003, when superheated gases generated during reentry entered the ship through a breach in the insulation. Ever since then, astronauts have given their spacecraft a close visual inspection upon reaching orbit to look for any troublesome chips. On Sunday, a 3D laser imager attached to Endeavour's robotic arm revealed what could...
...wing with so little force it didn't register on impact sensors. But a camera mounted on the shuttle's 50-ft. arm as well as photos taken from the station have detected at least 25 dings in Discovery's insulating tiles. The most worrisome: a 1.5-in. divot near the nose, where temperatures can reach 3000?...
