You read that right. I have been cleared to being "practicing" for sports. If your unsure of what that means than don't worry because I wasn't really sure either.
I saw my Doctor just the other day (January 14th) and he was happy with where I was at the moment. He made me walk back and forth in the room a couple times and then told me to squat. I did about 5 squats and it was all he needed to see that I've been doing them almost every day.
He then told me to lay down and began twisting and bending my knee in uncomfortable positions. His analysis?
Join me after the jump to find out.
- My knee looks great
- I told him it doesn't swell up so he said that is a good sign and I can push it harder
- I can begin practicing for sports pretty much means that I am not ready for them yet, but I can pick up the pace and attempt to start sprinting. Once I get sprinting down then I can start cutting and so on.
- I should be able to snowboard very easily and safely in about a month
- He encouraged me to skate a lot...rollerblade and ice-skate
- My leg is still small compared to my healthy one so I need to keep working
- Soccer? Sometime in the spring, probably April/ May (1 year recovery)
- My next appointment is in Early April
- Until then, I am just going to up the workouts in the gym and try short sprints.
