Peter Forsberg has begun rehab on his right ankle. He had surgery on May 15 to basically straighten his crooked foot out. Back in May rehab was projected to take 4 to 6 weeks which would take him to beginning to mid August. When he can walk again on his right foot he will go and have surgery on his left foot since that is crooked too.

A couple quotes from Forsberg.

Q: How are you doing?
PF: “Everything feels good. Everything is going as planned and it’s good to be back working out a little bit here with Jimmy (McCrossin). It’s been great. Everything has been positive but it’s hard to say if it’s going any quicker than we thought. It is just the beginning of rehab. But everything went well with the surgery and it’s great to be back working out. I got back a couple of days ago and just doing some things with the foot, everything I am supposed to do and not doing anything more after having a couple of weeks vacation.”

Q: Is there any discomfort in your foot?
PF: “Well, the discomfort comes with the territory. There are a lot of things that were done to the foot and it is going to take awhile to heal up. But we are going down to the doctor on Tuesday to see how everything is going. He looked at the X-rays and everything looks good, nothing negative. I think we are at the stage where we are supposed to be, so we will see how it goes.”
