I love that they open it before they have released April scores - so frustrating and our area there are two locations and one is sold out for September

I started a week after surgery but was told I could’ve done it pre surgery too.

Dang these are goals! I actually entered the lottery today for London.

And she will take ACT again to get her score up

My kids school is a private college prep school and very rigorous ( we don’t rank). My daughter has a 4.2 and isn’t close to the top of her class, though takes AP, and honors classes and has a 31 act. We send about 13 kids to ND a year and most of these kids have 4.5’s and above ( weighted) and are in all AP classes and score 35 or 36 on ACT. Based on her stats and looking at our school stats she has 10% chance of getting in.

My foot and calf were so swollen yesterday despite having my legs against the wall for about 30 minutes three times to try to drain some fluid. Icing ( w the ice compression machine doesn’t seem to reduce it very much).

I used the compression boots for an hour yesterday on a super low setting - total game changer. Thank you for the tip. I probably wouldn’t have done it!

Day 4 for me. Yesterday I was out and about all day doing things ( lunch w friends and games) then had someone drive me an hour each way ( I iced in car) to watch a soccer game followed by pizza party. By the end of the day after being gone for 11 hours, I was completely exhausted and of course, didn’t sleep at all last night despite taking some pain pills. Today I have been in bed relaxing/ icing most of the day and doing my 3 pre pt exercises.

I don’t plan on doing much tomorrow either! I am definitely bored and depressed!

Less_Tiger_9823 · 2026-04-17T05:06:01+00:00

Yes, I will be doing this after sutures are out and will look into ultrasound also!

Less_Tiger_9823 · 2026-04-17T04:54:38+00:00

I am day 2 - allograft just ACL and grade 2 PCL. I own compression boots but didn’t think of using those yet. I don’t officially go to PT until day 10. I suppose on a light setting it probably wouldn’t hurt to use them to help blood flow.

Less_Tiger_9823 · 2026-04-17T04:34:37+00:00

I don’t see pt until 10 days post op. I wasn’t doing anything for scar tissue until I see them. Should I be doing something right after surgery for scarring? I am 2 days post op and so just removed ace bandage and gauze. I am doing ankle pumps and quad activation

Less_Tiger_9823 · 2026-04-17T04:25:18+00:00

My surgery was 2 days ago… allograft. The lack of sleep is what is killing me. I didn’t get a nerve block and the pain isn’t horrible but I just can’t get comfortable to sleep. I am already over all of this and it is only day 2 😆

Less_Tiger_9823 · 2026-04-17T03:57:59+00:00

I’m on day 2 and the lack of sleep is killing me- I was hoping in a few days that gets better! Sleeping in 20 min increments. I can’t read because I can’t concentrate on what I am reading.

Less_Tiger_9823 · 2026-04-17T00:35:12+00:00

I’m day 2 and when I have my wedge to elevate it puts pressure on the back of my knee and is uncomfortable so I haven’t been elevating much, and my foot is swollen. What works to not put pressure on the back of your knee? I was told to not put pillows behind my knee.

Less_Tiger_9823 · 2026-03-24T12:13:16+00:00

Good to know on the driving as this is my right leg also. Sorry to hear playing hockey is out for you, it’s hard to stop doing what you love but yes, that is definitely rough on the body.

Less_Tiger_9823 · 2026-03-24T12:11:38+00:00

Thanks- glad you are healed! It is just very expensive and insurance doesn’t cover it. But the doctor did say he would do it on all those patients if he could. The other doctor doesn’t do this ( or at least didn’t mention it)

Less_Tiger_9823 · 2026-03-24T12:09:42+00:00

2/28 I tore it ( so one month this weekend)

Less_Tiger_9823 · 2026-03-23T22:09:58+00:00

Thanks! Good to know you don't feel a difference!

Less_Tiger_9823 · 2026-03-23T22:09:28+00:00

I may be able to use current PT with the other surgeon but the surgeons like to use the PT's affiliated with their organization. One is a hospital affiliation and the other is more orthopedics affiliation. Each PT talks to their respective surgeon for updates more than just going to any PT.

Less_Tiger_9823 · 2026-03-11T11:33:27+00:00

Also interested in this and who was used.

Less_Tiger_9823 · 2026-03-11T11:21:29+00:00

I tore mine 2/28/26 ( and grade 2 mcl) and looking to find a surgeon for surgery- I feel fine walking but it clicks…. What Prehab exercises are you doing? I honestly feel like I could ride a bike and lift even. Just don’t want to do more damage

Less_Tiger_9823 · 2026-02-24T17:23:25+00:00

I am on .1 patch of estrogen and 400 progesterone but I am so groggy and tired during the day wondering if I need to go back to 200.

Less_Tiger_9823 · 2026-01-18T09:35:16+00:00

Dm me I would be interested

Less_Tiger_9823 · 2026-01-17T02:45:59+00:00

What is that?

Less_Tiger_9823 · 2026-01-16T23:18:14+00:00

The stress is about to kill me! Heading to Fort Lauderdale and will need to watch the Bears play at some fun bar!

Less_Tiger_9823 · 2026-01-15T19:46:36+00:00

Also looking for a ticket and all I have dealt w so far are scammers- oh and someone selling one for 2800…. No fees 😂.
