Tomorrow is my 1 month new ACL & MCL anniversary. Physically things have been good. PT in person 1x/week and keeping up Kaiser exercises and Ravi Patel’s The ACL Athlete exercises. Today at PT physiotherapist changed my hinges to 0 flexion and free ROM (before was -10 and 90). Cleared me to walk without crutches in the house, but only if comfortable and confident. Out of the house, crutches. Cleared to drive (I miss my Pingo so much), but still can’t walk my dogues (he said maybe in like 2 weeks - I have big dogues). Today I was at 135, last week 127 and the week before 113. If I may brag about myself, I’ve been known at the physical dept the girl with good range (I was -10 and 110 3 days after surgery).

A question: I feel confident to walk, but also don’t want to be overconfident and fuck it up again. Any tips on how to follow a good pace on regaining a true and healthy confidence?

Mentally, well… that’s another story. This procedure took a big toll in my life. I’ve been compartimentalizing my life between work and PT, so I don’t need to think about the crumbles having this accident turned my life into.

At least I can vent here with people that understand what we go thru.

Thanks ♥️
