There is an estimated 100,000 ACL surgeries performed yearly in the US alone. Everyone goes through a different journey and the spectrum of healing is quite varied. Why write about my story?
A few reasons come to mind:
This blog started one weekend in October 2017 when I was stuck on the couch with severe anterior knee pain and was feeling rather hopeless. My original surgeon/physician assistant/physical therapist team had never dealt with someone with such extended pain. In the blog, I will talk about my exercise routines, my struggles, my outlook, how I manage to keep a somewhat positive outlook, my research, general thoughts on this whole process, and some positive things that are a result of having been injured. This is really meant for my journey, but if helps you in any way then that's a bonus!
