One month from today, I'm scheduled for ACL reconstructive surgery - unless of course, Dr. Theo decides on September 15th at my pre-op appointment that I'm not ready which I highly doubt. So far, my recovery has been great. I continue to work hard on my range of motion (ROM) and strengthening exercises. I can walk freely but tire easy and then need my crutches for support. Neena says that I'm a model student! A++ for me!
Speaking of ROM, my flexion is now at 130deg - far exceeding Dr. Theo's minimum of 90deg and meeting Neena's goal. To be honest, I'm even surprised by how well I'm doing but have been warned that I'll be starting from zero after my surgery. In fact, I'm preparing and organizing myself for all the school work and teaching that I will be missing by categorizing my time and assignments by "pre-surgery" and "post-surgery". Nothing ingenious, but from the stories I've heard, post-surgery recovery is pretty painful and I'll be off my feet again for awhile.
Anyway, the most exciting part of pre-surgery (since the rest is work-related) is that Jeff will be coming home for Labour Day weekend! Yaaaaaaaaaaaay! I cannot wait. 10 more days!
