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. [...]

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 [...]

This morning I saw my surgeon for my 3rd follow-up appointment. It’s been two months and one day since he sliced my knee and reconstructed my ACL and repaired my lateral meniscus. Here’s the stats and fun facts: -I can start running, but just straight forward stuff; my meniscus isn’t ready for side-to-side, hard-core excercise [...]

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 [...]
Wired for Business

Seventh day post-op. Work from home? Yes knee can! (Few wires required.) Finally time to get back to the 9-5 grind via my “home office.” I’m very fortunate that my company/bosses are letting me work from home for a few days. At this point in the recovery game, my mobility is still not super–and I [...]
