4 years later... and the healing is pretty much complete. The skin is still attached to the tendon at the top of the wound, which I've come to accept as permanent. The scar has opened up twice in the last 4 years, but not in the last year. The tendonitis flares up in the OTHER tendon now and then if I overdo it, but not in the "repaired" tendon... Oh well. I'm 40 now, and I can ride a bike for exercise. Life is good. If I learned anything from my experience, it was that my ex-wife and I had some deep issues. Her anger at me for an accidental injury was just a symptom of some bigger problems. Maybe God brought the injury to bring things to light. I don't really know. The anger brought about by tearing my achilles led to a cross-country move, led to a divorce and some hard decisions, led to a new marriage and a blended family.
Life sure is an adventure.
