So things are coming along pretty well still. I am at the point where the exercises are a bit more intense. I am running a mile every week, jumping or -- I should say hopping -- on my surgically-repaired leg (can't call it a bad leg) and doing sprints, backwards running and cross-overs at physical therapy.
My PT end date is fast approaching it seems. By the end of May, I am likely to be "cleared for activity," meaning that I am allowed to participate in sports. I doubt I will jump back into things anytime soon, but it's a nice benchmark to achieve.
Pain is minimal. I do get sore at times, especially in the back of my leg after running that mile, but it is not an every day thing. I rarely have pain in the front of the leg, which may be partly because I used the hamstring as my graft source. I am happily crawling on my knees with my kids.
One challenge I am having is that it is harder to keep up with exercises now that I feel back to normal and now that most exercises are not everyday things. It was easier when it was like I HAVE TO DO AN HOUR OF THIS EVERYDAY NO MATTER WHAT. It's a bit different now and it takes a bit more effort to get myself to do things after a long day, but I am doing pretty well with it overall I think.
I am pretty close to getting that last bit of flexion. I was over 150 last week when they measured me.
