I tore my ACL about 9 years ago and blogged about it. Now, I've done it again. This time the right knee. So, I thought it would be fun to blog again, collect more data and compare my recoveries. I hope this blog provides help to those of you out there in the same situation as me.
Nov 12, 2014 - Five days after surgery
Same exercises, just another day. I have to remind myself not to be discouraged. Progress will come, I just have to keep pressing on with the exercises. Getting my flexibility back is really hard as I am working full extension and flexion at the same time. All the progress I make at the end of a day seems to regress at the beginning of the next day. It won't always be that way and I am continually reminding myself of that.
