Good luck on you surgery. Knee surgery sounds awful but......

I had ACL surgery on Tuesday. My leg is in an immobilizer and I'm to use 2 crutches for 2 weeks. I spent Tues, Wed. and Thurs on the couch elevating an icing. Today I am up and around because I'm bored.

I can fully bear weight on my leg, walk without the crutches and don't have a lot of pain. I showered and washed my hair this morning. Sleeping has not been a problem at all.

The only pain meds I'm taking are Aleve and 1/4 of a tablet of Darvocet 4x per day. I get really sick on pain meds so I'm taking as little as possible.

I started range of motion exercises the day after surgery and hope the ortho will let me start on the trainer next week.

I still have a little swelling so I'm continuing to ice and elevate.

According to my rehab protocol it doesn't look like I'll be back on the bicycle until early June.

I hope everything goes well for you, remember to let pain be your guide, ice and elevate and do your pt faithfully as it affects your recovery.
