The ACL Repair Blog Firsthand accounts of ACL surgery and recovery

Here I am with my leg in the machine and Charlie Wilson’s war on the laptop. I don’t have much pain and have increased the range of motion in the machine by five degrees.

I can do my foot rotations to keep blood moving. This is to prevent blood clots, but more importantly it makes me feel like I’m contributing to my recovery. That psychlogical push makes me feel the best I’ve felt since the accident, despite the fact that I cannot walk.
