Anyone ever rupture a tendon??

Last Thusday I was working shoulders and going to do standing DB flys with palms down when the top of my wrist popped something awful on the 1st one. I got xrayed Friday then went to see a Ortho Surgeon. He checked out my wrist and said it was most likely a ruptured tendon, probably the ECU, but would know for sure what to do after MRI. I am going to do that on Tues and back to Ortho on Friday. I feel I will probably be looking at surgery to repair.

I am really wondering what I am realistically in store for as for how long before I get back in the Gym. I am so pissed caused I was just getting back to where I was when I lost my Mother last Feb. I was messed up for about 9 months before I got serious again.
 
No one has torn or ruptured a tendon on here? Any trainers here give me a realistic idea of when I should be able to hit the weights again after surgery (if needed).

I did my MRI yesterday (weird experience) and go see the surgeon on Friday.
 
Not Tendon

Well after looking at MRI, Doc says it is not a tendon, but a ligament tear. He said it is the TFC and that I will have to rest it for at least a month. This is much better than a tendon injury I imagine.
