Me and my new knee recently moved to San Francisco. But before I go searching for a new physical therapist, I figured I would try pushing myself to a new physical milestone–getting back into high heels. I’m a fairly short girl, so I have missed faking a taller height (via high heels) for two months now. [...]

Knee Brace Tan:Scenes from my Summer
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged ACL encouragement, ACL Post-op, ACL scar, knee braces on July 28, 2009 | 3 Comments »
The headline on today’s Chicago Red Eye, a free supplement to the Chicago Tribune, stated, “Best or Worst Summer Ever?” The reason for this story is because of the sub-par, chilly, less-than-stellar summer weather Chicago has been experiencing in these past two months. I guess if you need to choose a month or two to [...]

This past weekend I was in San Francisco. I’m actually moving there for work next weekend. When the work opportunity first presented itself, I was about one month post-op and still in a knee brace. I went to visit and couldn’t walk around because the hills in that city are just so impossible. Well, after [...]
Summer Fridays

This is what most Fridays in Junes looked like for me. I didn’t wear pants until about a month after my surgery. Cut-offs sufficed. If you look closely, you can see the scar.

In the spirit of, “How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop?”, I’ve decided to fill you in on my personal answer to “How long does it take to get back to normal after ACL reconstruction?” Let’s keep in mind we are all different, and it also [...]
My 1st Post-Op Trip
Posted in ACL Surgery Recovery, tagged ACL encouragement, ACL Post-op, back to work, Traveling after ACL surgery on June 23, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I love to travel, but I knew with surgery it would take a while before I could travel again. One, because of my mobility and ability to get through security/terminals. Oh, and something about zero leg room didn’t sound appetizing. So where did my first trip with the new ACL land me? Right in the [...]
A “Little” Encouragement

Encouragement can come in many forms. The other day, I found it in a four-pound tiny weiner dog named “Sweet pea.” (For the record, at one month post-op, “yes knee can” lift four pounds with the reconstructed knee!) Her owner brought her into the office, and seeing a little puppy bounce off the cubicles reminded [...]
