Day 18

I am continuing to progress each and every day and constantly getting it stronger. saw my doctor today, and he was stunned at how fast i was healing and said i was in the top 5% of all surgeries he has seen, inluding the pro athletes he has done. well i hope this progress contines, and hopefulyy by the 4 month mark ill be good to go.

Day 16

So im back posting today, I am now able to bend my knee 125 degrees and have been without the brace for over 4 days now. Rught now main thing for me is trying to regain the strength in my leg and gaining full extension and felxion

Day 4

Each day I continue to make great improvements. Today, at PT I was actually able to bend my knee 107 degrees on my own power and 117 degrees with my PT's help. I also was able to start going on a machine called the NuStep, which is kind of like a bicycle, and i did very well with that as well.
I have also started to walk without my crutches today, and hopefully I will soon be able to walk without my cumbersome brace as well

Day 2

Today I started my first day of physical therapy. It was a great sucess today and even my physical therapist was extremely impressed. For only my first day after surgery, i was able to bend my knee up to 100 degrees. Hopefully my knee can continue to get stronger with hard work and determination each day so i can get back on the court and tear shit up.

Day 1

To start off, I will give a little background of myself. I am 16 years old and am extremely active in basketball and soccer. In September I partially tore my ACl, but decided not to get surgery right away and see if I could strengthen in and just play thorugh it so I wouldn't have to miss my high school basketball season. Due to my lack of ability to run as fast or jump as high with my injury and also hurt myself about 5 times during this period, I decided to get surgery so I can be able to play in the summer.

Now, as the surgery is going I had an allograft, and my doctor actually told me this was one of the best graft's he has seen, so this was some good news. So far the worst experience from this surgery was not being able to pee after the surgery due to how they numbed my spinal chord during surgery. This was by far one of the most painful things I have ever experienced and they actually had to cardarize me to release everything in my bladder. Other than that though everything so far is going pretty well and hopefully I will soon be able to play as soon as possible.
