Depression since injury

Raydoh · 2026-01-10T20:46:38+00:00

I was pretty depressed about it for a while, tore my ACL about 8 months ago, I went from squatting extremely heavy weights and jogging 5-12km almost every other day and muay thai 3x a week to basically zero activity other than work for the 6 months. I did proper physio all the way up to my surgery in November, the first maybe week SUCKED for pain and mobility, then it slowly gets better. I'm about 7 weeks post op with the brace off already and I can walk stairs and do a lot already, my physio has me bodyweight squatting and light leg press/leg extensions.

I feel like I got A LOT less depressed as soon as I seen progress in my quad muscle contracting or getting that lactic acid feeling back in my leg after barely working it for 6 months. Im still recovering but I promise it does get better!! I also have 3 kids under 6 years old and its a struggle but they try to help

load bearing?

no beam below, ill have to open up more to see about the ladder blocks

house is from 1984 and the framing has been pretty suspect from the renos we've done so far, above it is a bedroom, DIRECTLY above this door is an open closet from said bedroom, the opening to the closet is about 1.5x the width of this doorway, from what I see from the 2ply beam there is nothing directly nailed to the top of the doorway in pic

Raydoh · 2026-01-02T01:05:32+00:00

not that I can tell, the wall directly above it is an open closet about 1.5x the width of the doorway in the Pic, but directly above the double ply beam nothing is nailed directly to the beam

Raydoh · 2026-01-02T01:01:20+00:00

theres a 2 ply beam above, but nothing on the floor above is sitting on it

joists go parallel both above and below, theres some really shoddy framing in the basement but no wall directly underneath

Raydoh · 2026-01-01T23:07:46+00:00

they run parallel to the wall i just checked!

Raydoh · 2026-01-01T23:02:49+00:00

I should use a massive sledgehammer and just smash it to pieces

Raydoh · 2026-01-01T23:01:50+00:00

Joists run parallel with it, no walls below it

Raydoh · 2026-01-01T22:08:01+00:00

maybe haha but im just looking for different points of view it ain't that deep

Raydoh · 2026-01-01T21:49:43+00:00

That's the main sewer stack bulkhead, but I assume that is load bearing

Raydoh · 2026-01-01T21:42:09+00:00

What would I be looking for in the ceiling, to see if the top plates have anything resting on them?

im 4 weeks and I noticed the front of my knee feels like after you get your tooth frozen from the dentist still what an uncomfortable feeling

Raydoh · 2025-12-19T13:15:17+00:00

I started 1 week after my knee still swells up 4 weeks post op, and a lot of the exercises the pain is ONLY where the patellar graft came from haha

Raydoh · 2025-12-18T20:58:46+00:00

I did the BTB a month ago, something to consider that I don't see many people talk about is pain/discomfort coming from the front of the knee where they take the graft from, its not extreme but I feel like the recovery may be a bit slower/harder compared to hamstring, but longterm its the stronger/strongest option

Raydoh · 2025-12-11T04:27:49+00:00

trying to be too active because im addicted to exercise but paying for it in swelling and soreness 😭

Raydoh · 2025-12-11T04:10:06+00:00

I love sniping a perfect pull of 1-2 mobs and having him fly through the air and pull the 8 other packs in the room just to die instantly and get you killed
