8 weeks out and “picture perfect”

It’s been 8 weeks since my surgery and I’m feeling great. In fact, yesterday my PT told me I was having a “picture perfect” recovery. I’m walking without a brace all the time, still riding a bike on the trainer and doing ever more ambitious PT exercises.

Although I must say, if this is picture perfect I really do feel for those of you that are having a harder time of it than I am. This stuff is no fun!

I’m also curious about this Russian Stimulation they’ve been doing at my physical therapy appointments. I’ve been reading a little (and promise to do a recap blog on that reading … PROMISE!) and I still don’t totally get it. What I do know is that it feels like I got the best, most focused workout ever after I’m on that thing for 20 minutes.

I hope my other ACL survivors are doing well, please leave a comment and tell me about your knee!

  1. Hey I’m 5 days out of surgery and I’m doing pretty well I think. I can bend my leg a little past 90 degreees. I walk without crutches a couple times a day just to see my limits. I go in for my post op. Appt tomorrow so we’ll see what the doc has to say. Would you mind emailing me your week by week progress so I have something to compare my own to? Especially since you seem to be recovering very well… hopefully by reading it I can try and keep up! That would be very helpful and appreciated. Thank you. My name is Chris Liddiard and my email is cliddiard32@gmail.com
