Aw, damn... sorry to hear that Andy. Give Anne my best and I hope she heals fast!
Let me repeat my standard recommendation to try to get them to give you a CMM (Continuous passive Motion Machine). It's a motorized frame that moves the joint at a programmed speed and range of motion. I found it very helpful. Between my 1st and 2nd ACLs (different knees) it went out of fashion. (I got the impression evidence-based-medicine had found it did not lead to better outcomes. Whether it did or not, it made it EASIER to get to a good outcome, and I got one approved as a special request for my 2nd knee.)
That really sucks and it occurred on a fall that she said wasn't all that crazy. Good luck to her for the recovery.
Hey she is in good company as Tom Brady also tore his ACL ... so did my wife and through aggressive PT both before and after surgery she was back at 100% in 5 months ... in fact she ended up in better shape as a result of the PT and has not slowed down since. This is one of the few sports injuries where they have some great solutions and you make a full recovery. Sucks that she will miss out on the rest of this season. Best of luck with the recovery!
This is good news.
I always felt more fit after a recovery regimen. Injuries have sometimes resulted in major life adjustments.
Boo. Hugs.
Sorry to hear this - hope all goes well with the surgery
Huh? Don't get your last two posts.
I think he's saying, in response to my pic of all my baggage, they he does Europe trips with just a boot bag? No idea about the pic though.

For all those following the saga of Ann's injury, she had surgery yesterday. ACL was repaired using a graft from her hamstring tendon, the MCL has been healing nicely, and the lateral meniscus had a little scuffing but was stable. Now comes the fun part. PT starts tomorrow.
