week 6 of ACL surgery recovery

Week 6 of ACL surgery recovery has me back at the Doctor office for a post op checkup. He was happy with how the recovery is going is feels that everything is on track 6 weeks after ACL surgery

I had several questions for him after 6 weeks. Including when I would be able to ski after ACL surgery. He suggests I take it slow but didnt rule out me being able to ski in April 4 months after knee surgery.

Week 4 of ACL Surgery Recovery - Lost Weight

My first month after ACL surgery has come to completion. I was surprised that i manage to lose weight after acl surgery and my quad atrophy is less than I had expected. 

I still walk with a limp when I am trying to walk fast and it can be frustrating especially now that I have returned to work. Hopefully everyone elses recovery is going well.

Here is a full breakdown of where my recovery is at after 1 month: http://www.aclsurgeryrecovery.net/06/4-weeks-after-acl-surgery-quad-atrophy-and-lost-weight/

ACL Surgery Recovery Motivation

After watching Clint Cora from http://www.clintcora.com and his ACL surgery recovery motivation video it inspired me to write a post about what I am doing to stay motivated during my ACL surgery recovery here is my post including Clints video...I would be really interested in hearing what you are doing or did do during your rehab that allowed you to stay focused on recovery.
