In my case the bottom end of my achilles wound up just below the back of my
knee ! When it snapped I could see it wiggling up the calf muscle !

Mine, too. I share your puzzlement about them reattaching without surgery.
Puzzles me as well. When my bicep detached itself from my shoulder the
surgeon told me he had to dig pretty deep into the arm with forceps to find
the tendon so he could pull it up to it's original point of attachment.
Takes a little while to get it stretched too. I understand the Achilles
tendon behaves the same way, as do to varying degrees most of the muscles
that when relaxed are stretched by opposing muscles ie: biceps / triceps.
