Well... it’s been almost two months from surgery day. Not quite the recovery I was hoping for.
Did the exercises prescribed by my physiotherapist work? Was I really careful with my knee and movements I was able to do?
YES to the first, NO to the second.
I was feeling so good that I did too much. A combination of warm weather, outdoor activities (I coach a fast pitch team) and the inability to control myself added to the combination of “too much”.
Now, instead of focusing “just” on my knee, I need to focus on my hamstring!! (Specifically Semitendinosus, they used part of the tendon to replace my ACL)
I tore that muscle hitting to my outfield during practice. And as if that wasn’t enough, the next day I was hitting them again!!!
What was I thinking!
So, in conclusion, I just can’t stop moving and being active. I guess I chose a bad time during the year to have surgery. I should have waited until fall or winter. Or not, wait, if I would’ve done that, then I would’ve played fast pitch during the summer and messed up my meniscus.... ahhhhhhhh!!!!
So, if you are injured or have just had surgery, listen to your health care provider and follow their advice and program. Most importantly be patient!!!
Till the next post... with better news... I hope!
