Michael tore his Achille's tendon while sporting with the scouts. He had surgery to repair the tendon on April 2, and seems to be doing well, though in pain. We gave him a Priesthood blessing on April 1 with the help of the full-time missionaries following general conference.Re: Achilles (from Wikipedia)
Legends (beginning with a poem by Statius in the first century AD) state that Achilles was invulnerable on all of his body except for his heel. These legends state that Achilles was killed in battle by an arrow to the heel, and so an Achilles' heel has come to mean a person's only weakness.
Achilles is also famous for being the most 'handsome' of the heroes assembled at Troy, as well as the fleetest.
