105* of flexion, -3* of extension.

My knee being much more it’s usual self 2 weeks post op.
#aclrepair #scartissuerevision

Huge accomplishment (for me, post #ACLRepair ) - I managed full rotation on the stationary bike today. My right knee did full circles and I am Quite Pleased.

(I cried some too though. It’s ouchy to get to full healing)

Y’all! I can put all of my weight on my right leg! The PT is working!

It’s a big deal because that’s the one that needed surgery. And because that’s one more recovery marker closer to driving myself places again. #healing #ACLRepair

I have gained 10 more degrees of flex, and 1 more degree of extension in the past week.
I’m really proud of that. And even though PT makes me swear from the discomfort I’m grateful that it works.

Busted out of Leg Jail! #ACLrepair
I am capable of transporting the baby between rooms, thanks to a magical device known as a stroller, and my ability to walk with one crutch.
Progress!
Also, only 4 more days of full time leg jail.

Knee is fixed. Recovery Part 2 begins. #ACLRepair

Opioid-free orthopedic surgery

With my transition to opioid-free, I went from a mindset that this is a necessary evil for controlling pain for my patients after surgery so that they can achieve the outcome of having a repair or reconstruction to this is not necessary.
