12 weeks Post op and all is well
I just left my orthopedic surgeons office ( the best doctor in the area, in my opinion, Dr. Ted Gregorius www.empireortho.net ) for my 12 week post-op appointment and everything looks great. Physical therapy has been doing its job and I am healing on schedule.
Dr. Gregorius says that I can start in-line running on a treadmill next month and should be able to be back to full activity, including cutting sports ( read: Muay Thai Kickboxing ) at month 6. I'll get fitted for a custom brace that I'll have to wear for a year after that when exercising and we are trying to figure out a solution to what I will wear while rolling jiu jitsu as no one will roll with me with a fiberglass brace on my knee. We'll come up with something.
The best part of today's appointment is that I can start pushing a little harder know to work on growing the muscle mass back in my leg. Weeks 8-12 are precarious weeks with an allograph ( tendon harvested from a corpse)while it attached to my body, but know that week 12 is past us, I can start putting more strain on it. Yeah! I can really start working on getting the muscle mass back that I lost while being on crutches for 6 weeks.
So, things are going well and according to schedule and perhaps this blog will return to a blog of crazy athletic endeavors again, soon. Cheers!
