3 Month Post-Op Dr Visit
Today I went in for my three month post operative checkup. The doctor asked me a few questions about how my knee was feeling and did his standard exam of the joint. He declared it to be nice and tight and told me I could ride my bike as much as I want, just not to fall ;).
He recommended that i keep going to physical therapy once every other week for a while. I need to check with my insurance to make sure they’ll keep paying, but I’ve been so happy with my PT that I would like to keep going as long as i can.
He reiterated the fact that Allograft tends to take longer to heal. He indicated that by 6 months out it should be as strong as an autograft would be. The doctor made a point of telling me that he could start me on a running program at six months, I was not excited about that at all.
Being cleared for bike off is fantastic news. That means I can start getting my miles in and hopefully be in good shape for some longer rides this summer. The hardest part will probably be taking it easy and keeping myself out of potentially dangerous situations.

Money that did not result in population or GDP growth would have to come back to the government in some way, and I see most of that in some form of taxation, in addition to certain fees. ,

Interestingly, my doctor’s timeframe for running was four months.
