Monday Night Football

Somehow managed to lose against bottom of the league tonight after battering the best team in the country last week. Not good for my morale! 😫
But you do get used to it after being a LFC supporter for 25 years. 😬

Never mind. The pain meds helped soften the blow 😅

Knee felt good today, rested this eve with regular icing and good elevation after working the quads hard today.

Flexion is definitely attainable but I'm not pushing for it atm until the swelling falls away a bit more, just seems silly to struggle while it's so pumped up.

More key in my mind is to keep the slight hyperextension there, which I have thus far and as I said before don't see any reason why that would alter👌🏻

Wait to see what tomorrow brings about...  I'd hazard a guess another overall improvement is likely..albeit a small one.
Certainly would like to have leg lifts going strong before the end of the week. 💪🏻

1 month down 👀

Today marks the 1 month milestone. Honestly, if I knew I'd be walking, cycling and rehabbing with no pain or issues (touch wood) at this point before Surgery I'd have been very sceptical given the horror stories I've heard and read. Until I see my OS on March 5th I'm not counting any blessings as I need to hear from him the graft is great and all is well. Something in my head says there has to be some issue somewhere surely? Rehab can't be this straight forward..can it? The only thing that annoys me is the muscle Atrophy of the quad, really it's the Vastus Lateralis that's been hit the hardest and it's because the water pipe for the surgery was inserted there through all the muscle tissue.  Having gone into this surgery almost 2 years after the injury.. my legs were as strong as they ever have been, there were no weakness in the acl deficient leg at all, which leads me to wonder with the normal muscle mass present compared to someone who'd p

Did somebody say Turbo trainer!? 🚴🤗💪🏻

Worth an update I thought.. After yesterday's disappointing 'physio' appointment, I felt even more determined to follow through with my own rehab program and decided to give the turbo trainer another go. I'll be honest, the knee didn't want to flex enough to complete a full rotation at first, but after 10 mins of rocking back and forth I decided to suck it up and get it done. No pain no gain. It's a closed chain exercise so generally speaking unless some unnecessary over rotation happens maybe getting on or off the bike, it's a safe exercise to do, with limited strain on the graft. Once I got the first rotation in, I kept a slow spin going with no resistance until the knee freed up enough, I then put just enough resistance on to stop the pedals going crazy fast...nobody enjoys pedalling thin air. 😫 30 mins while watching Tele felt great, I'll be doing alot of cycling moving forward alongside the other exercises. I've always been a huge mou

Another day of big improvements. Swelling and bruising are really fading away nicely, these were definitely the cause of the dull aching feeling during week 1. I can now sleep properly without having my leg elevated and it feels incredible. Looking forward to a comfy nights sleep finally 😴😴😴 Starting to cut down the meds now, I have no pain and the ibuprofen is not good for the stomach! I can walk without crutches but will keep them for the time being as stairs are not conquered just yet.. and I have a lot to navigate at home 😆 Stitches out next Tuesday and Physio starting Wednesday I think... I'm not anticipating much exciting happening tomorrow so may miss a Post on here for sake of regurgitating things! Re-read my surgeons notes and now see the note he makes about jogging at 6 weeks is actually totally attainable.. obviously he knows what he's talking about 😅 Now off to bed (Watch the golf) 😉👌🏻 Nomis Dog walk photo 👌🏻🐶
