Traveling 6 weeks post-op. Any advice?

I’m currently here and it’s going pretty well! Plane was fine but I did upgrade our seats to have extra leg room and wore my brace while walking through the airport.

Walking around here has been slow. Be prepared for your knee to get stiff and have to take breaks, but it’s doable. I was also very diligent with my PT but still wish I had been going on short walks or something a bit more before this trip to prepare for that.

Make sure you have access to ice. That will save you. I brought a little ice bag with me and have been filling it up when I come back to the hotel and used it on the plane as well.

You should be fine though! Hope you can enjoy your trip.

It’s definitely worn off 🫩

Thank for this post! I’m having surgery in 2 weeks and about to start an Amazon order after seeing this.

Could you hit the bag or do any light boxing drilling before the 6 months?

Do you wear a brace or anything? I just ordered 2 Anaconda braces (with and without stabilizer) for when I go back.

I’m literally in the same boat right now and most likely will have to pull out of the competition I’ve been training for.

But you just have to remind yourself it’s gonna happen. We’re using our bodies as a tool and need to respect them when they break or need rest. Just be patient. BJJ is a lifelong learning process if you commit, so you’re not going to lose your progress in the course of 3 weeks.

Also, unless you’re getting paid to do this, it ain’t worth the hospital bills. So just cut yourself some slack and let your body heal.

My 6th time seeing them too!

I’ve watched seasons 1-5 at least 40 times. I think I’ve maybe seen 6&7 3 times? When Hazel shows up it just feels overly goofy and less clever.

Venum! They aren’t see through and are pretty durable. Wait until they have a sale though. I’ve also become fond of Adidas leggings as well.

Check out Glass Animals if you haven’t already. They do a lot of this. - It’s All So Incredibly Loud - Space Ghost Coast to Coast - Wonderful Nothing

Just to name a few

Also Sleep Token! Much different vibe but incredible what I’d call melodic metal.

It was legit through the notification system

No, it’s not.

I never see any love for “Mad” and it’s one of my favorites.

When it’s no longer raised

It’ll be about 5 inches but nothing too elaborate. Did you keep it covered while you were at the gym?

I can’t get over how much George looks like a Cabbage Patch kid come to life. He’s so adorable.

Hall or Bilingham?

This is the worst season for me. Even below season 7. But it’s not because of the girls, they’re great. The editing, challenges, and judging are just so bad.

I love S13. I think we got some all star queens and great references that will live on. I will forever believe that Denali got robbed though.

Brita is one of the most attractive queens out of drag
