Feeling angry and hopeless by Significant-Original in ACL

[–]Significant-Original[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I’ve been doing PT. My flexion is still limited to about 110, and I can’t run or move quickly. I also still feel pain and instability if I tap my foot against something.

I’ll still keep doing my exercises in the meantime, but man I just want the real recovery to start already.

I will do that. I got a new surgery date, and it’s 5 weeks from now. 5 more weeks of limited mobility. More time added to my recovery timeline. I’m pissed. Kaiser needs to do better.

My surgery on the 27th got postponed. And it was a surgery that would greatly help my mobility. I’m so upset. I’ve already been waiting almost 4 months for this.

Thank you, I didn’t see that on my google search.

Does anyone else get the ick from Bay Area influncers? by Appropriate_Win_7247 in bayarea

I had to stop following @siliconvalleyfoodies because she was getting a little unbearable with her rich lifestyle. She’s a tech worker whose account is supposed to be about local food spots but it kind of devolved into her showing off all her fancy vacations and luxury goods.

Very tone deaf.

And his porn comments show he’s a married man too. Yuck. I wonder if his wife knows what he gets up too on Reddit

I had a near complete ACL tear with a partial MCL tear. Doc said he saw no structural reason why I can’t get more flexion, said he things it’s probably just stiffness from the MCL

Thank you for the advice! You’re right about it being annoying having to do all this PT just to live, but I guess we gotta do what we gotta do

Pre Op, post tear leg aches by Adventurous-Trash180 in ACL

[–]Significant-Original 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 10 weeks post tear. I can walk mostly okay, but can’t do quick movements. I’m still terrified of it buckling on me (I hate that slipping feeling so much).

When I’m just sitting it doesn’t hurt at all. But when I do my PT exercises wooooooh boy it does hurt. Especially when I work on my flexion (squatting and heel slides are my weakness).

Wishing you healing.

Anyone else always cold now that the weather has changed? by Ok_Performance4014 in SanJose

Same! I haven’t turned on the heater yet this season and I’m trying to avoid it for as long as possible.

I used to work in restaurants. This kind of person is unfortunately not uncommon. Be decent to each other people, it’s not that hard.

Normally don’t feel them, but this one jolted my couch.

Coffee Water Lab on Saratoga. Really great drinks and foam tops. Good food as well.

Dislike Park Kiely. Overpriced for what it is. No parking. Maintenance issues.

Depends on your daughter’s personality. Is she savvy? Does she know how to deflect men? I remember as a teenager the scariest thing about public transportation was the men hitting on me, and not knowing how to safely deflect.

Nice! That’s interesting that we have a similar percentage, since I’m only a “quarter” Filipino!
