McMahon kicks her boots up
Melbourne Vixens co-captain Sharelle McMahon has announced via social media networking site Twitter, that shes thrown away her boot.
McMahon suffered a season ending Achilles rupture on March 31, in Vixens round eight loss to the Queensland Firebirds.
Within days of a surgical repair, a heartbroken McMahon announced the end of her World Championships prospects, but held off from making any disclosures about her career.
She wore a protective moon boot after the surgery on April 1.
In the wake of the injury, surgery and subsequent rehabilitation, public sympathy was enormous, with fans and team mates urging the star netballer not to give up hope of a return.
The Australian captain became the first netballer and only fourth woman to carry the Australian flag into the Commonwealth Games, last year in Delhi.
As part of her rehabilitation, McMahon began light work at the gym two weeks ago. She announced the good news from her surgeon in a series of tweets late Tuesday.
My visit to surgeon today: Him: Looks great, did you bring your shoes? Me: No, why? Him: You can walk now. No boot. Me: Whaaaaat?! Wooo!!
Needless to say, it was a great report...now to slowly build up calf which has disappeared & gradually use the boot less & less. Worlds??
Team mates Renae Hallinan and Tegan Caldwell immediately responded.
Great news Sharazza! Even though the boot was becoming quite the fashion accessory- I'm glad we can slowly say our goodbyes! Hallinan said.
Caldwell tweeted, so excited!!! That's awesome!!
