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 25, 2014 - 18 days after surgery
Traveling yesterday meant no time for exercises, except for the quad strengthening and trying to keep. Today was filled with gravity pressing down on my knee to keep the full extension and time for my exercises. I am starting to feel like walking is normal, even though it is not completely and sleeping is now getting easier.
