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 20, 2014 - 13 days after surgery (the second week)
I am starting to feel like my leg is back to normal, say when I am sitting. So, then I go to get up and remember, you can't just get up, your leg is 13 days out of surgery, you need to be careful. Since yesterday's physical therapy, I am consciously bending my knee when I walk and that is becoming more natural. I went to the office today and that takes a lot out of me, so did not do more exercises than just 1 set.
