This is going to be my log of ACL recovery hopefully getting back to
throwing in a year. 25 March 2011 Allograft reconstruction of left ACL and repair of cartilage and meniscus tear. 3 bone chips where removed, one the size of a thumb. This is my second ACL reconstruction on the same knee, first was done 13 years ago with a hamstring graft. Apparently it failed several years ago because they found significant bone growth where My ACL should have been. I can't pinpoint when since my knee has been stable, probably due to my leg strength. |

4 sessions of 2 hours each in PCM machine 0-60 deg ROM. I can get up out of bed on my own now and move around on crutches. Starting to put some weight on the leg with a little pain. Goal is to be off the crutches by my post op appointment on thursday. |

4 sessions of 2 hours each in PCM machine 0-70 deg ROM. Can put full body weight on leg without to much pain. I should be able to get off the crutches in the next day or so. Going a little stir crazy and looking forward to starting rehab and lifting again. |

good post op. Orth seems to think I should a have a normal recovery. I can't start PT yet since there is still alot of swelling. Range of motion is about 110 with the CPM machine. It's definitely getting easier to move around. I going to start going pushups pull-ups and any thing else I can think of to start getting my body working again. I forgot how stir crazy I went during the last ACL rehab. |
