Initial Recovery

Two days after being released, I received a call from the hospital informing me to find a doctor to handle everything (mri, followup). The Doctor they recommended was booked until November.

I would then go to see my sports doctor (Dr. Edelist) who confirmed it as an ACL injury and suggested physiotherapy immediately to increase my range of motion (I couldn't bend my knee at this point). He also had me junk my stint that the hospital gave me mentioning "it will only make things worse".

After about 3-4 weeks of physio and home exercises I can fully bend my knee and am still working on my leg strength. The difference in size of both legs is quite noticeable. I require a knee brace all the time. Walking is still slightly sketchy.
