Ouch! You have my sympathy. I can imagine how much that hurts.

i'm just wondering how long this will take to heal... the doctors here are a bit short on stuff like that.

ah, here we are:
Grade 1 Calf Strain : The muscle is stretched causing some small micro tears in the muscle fibers. Full recovery takes approximately two weeks.
Grade 2 Calf Strain : There is partial tearing of muscle fibers. Full recovery takes approximately 5-8 weeks.
Grade 3 Calf Strain : This is the most severe calf strain with a complete tearing or rupture of muscle fibers in the lower leg. Full recovery can take 3-4 months and, in some instances, surgery may be needed.
ok, i'm so wanting this to be a grade one...
