Seven days since my ACL Repair
Today is day seven and I can proudly say I haven’t used a crutch in two days. I have some pain when i’m walking but it’s light and already feels better day over day.
I started watching the video of my surgery tonight, which i wasn’t sure i could do. I’ll eventually package it up and get it online, but it’s probably not prime dinner time entertainment. It is very cool to hear the doctor’s commentary of the surgery.
I have to admit that i haven’t been all that good about doing my exercises. I resolve to step it up starting now! I have been very strict with my diet because i know it will help the joint a lot to minimize the amout of weight it’s bearing. I’m usually rather active, riding my bike to work daily and trying to get out to the mountains most every weekend. So as you can imagine a lifestyle where my most strenuous exercise is the walk from the bus stop is a big change for me.
I’ve also been cutting back to almost zero with the ibuprofen making me largely medication free.
