Recovery




It has been one week since my ACL reconstruction and things are coming along really well. I almost have full motion back. My goal for the end of this week is to get full extension and I am at -4 (this means my knee has a 4 degree bend in it and it needs to be at 0). My other goal for the first week was to get up to 90 degrees in flexion on my CPM (a machine that bends and straightens my leg) and I was at 110 4 days after my surgery! I am being stubborn and not really wearing my brace at home a lot, and I am only using one crutch. I hope all this progress keeps up...
