Headed of to surgery-Healing fairies needed!

[flips123]

Today I'm getting my ACL reconstructed.It's been a long wait since I tore it January 16,almost two months!When I get home I have to be in a continuous motion machine 24/7 for the first 3-5 days and then on crutches and a giant immobilizer for up to 3 months.The one perk is im out of school for a week or two,But I'm defiantly not looking forward to the many hours of PT and six months absolutely no gym.So if you could send any spare healing fairies my way that would be greatly appreciated!

No matter how much it sucks, do your PT. Those of us that have skimped on PT can without a doubt tell you that whatever the PT involves, it beats dealing with a lousy knee for years.

Good luck for a quick and full recovery! PT therapists love gymnasts, because most of them are so compliant

I just looked up the continuous motion machine on youtube to see what exactly it does. Wild! Do they give you something to help you sleep? It seems like it would be hard to sleep like that. But then again, I'm sure it's hard to find a comfortable sleeping position after surgery anyway, so maybe it doesn't matter. Wishing you a complication-free surgery and speedy healing! Do let us know how it goes!

lol. it's soothing when you sleep. i've been told that they have difficulty sleeping later when they no longer use it. lol...go figure.

so true...when my daughter was recently at PT, the therapist said she was the model patient!
Good luck with your surgery and recovery!!
Sending good karma your way!

Good luck flips, I hope it all goes well for you. Work hard at your PT so you can return to the gym better prepared.

My partner had one of these, but was not required to use it 24/7. It is very beneficial in gaining back the range of motion in the joint. I know my partner often fell asleep while it was on but I think that was due to all the medication.
