ACL + Meniscus tear recovery - Month 5

5 months from surgery and the 2nd stage of physical therapy is killer. Shuttle runs, box jumps, single leg bosu-ball squats, etc. Toughest thing right now is quad strength, though. Anyone have a killer quad-killing routine?

My recovering leg (left) is straight chicken leg status right now… lol

Olympics without Wrestling?!?

How the hell are they going to remove wrestling from the olympics?!? Its a core sport! Its called Greco-Roman wrestling for a reason, because they’ve been doing it for like 10000 years!

Oh, but we must keep rythmic gymnastics, race-walking and freaking horse dancing… Really?!

And I swear if roller-sports gets placed in over wrestling, Im gonna rage. Might as well get rid of archery and athletics too, since they’re too old fashion… Ugh, IOC WTF…

Torn ACL - Part II

Went to see the doc again. MRI results were ready. Torn ACL and Lateral Meniscus with possible cartilage damage.

Surgery in mid-December so I have time to get the joint more flexible and recover over the Christmas holiday. 2 weeks on crutches without cartilage damage, 6 WEEKS if I need cartilage repair (ie micro-fracture surgery).

9 Months rehab and physical therapy.

BRING ON THOSE CADAVER LIGAMENTS!!!

(Im so ready to rock the shit out of my physical therapy!)
