Udpate from Florida

We've been in Orlando this past week, visiting theme park after theme park. It's been a lot of fun even though the weather's awful. Where's the sun??

A few months ago, we certainly would not have enjoyed ourselves as much. Limping would have ruined it. A stiff knee getting up after the ride is over would have been annoying. Standing in line overcompensating with the good leg would have been painful.

Being practically healed is great! I don't remember what it felt like to be injured. Mireille remains cautious because the adjoining leg is still smaller.

Here's an update, 11 months post-op:
  • If leg is extended too long, I crack at the first bend.
  • One-legged jumps on surgical leg not even with jumps on good leg.
  • Running is not perfect but pretty good.
  • Surgical leg still smaller than good leg.
Still regularly going to the gym, spinning 2x per week, doing yoga daily. Not hitting the pool, though...

    You're not hitting the pool! You lazy bugger! LOL. Kidding. It took all of my willpower to drag my lazy butt to dance and yoga class. (And I don't have an ACL tear)
    Where do you get your energy?
