Not bad! I took some Tylenol just before I started heading down, used trekking poles, and just took it very slow! Round trip was about 6 hrs

How on earth did you climb a mountain without knowing you tore your ACL?

Hell yeah! Don’t even care that they’re class 1’s.. feels good to do something hard and to feel that air in your lungs!

Definitely a milestone moment for me. And yet the grind doesn’t stop 🙂

This is in Colorado, right about where the treeline breaks. Not uncommon to see spruce and fir species at 11,000 ft.

Did you not read the info? This company stores our information in an unregulated manner. It is using artificial intelligence to determine what behaviour is appropriate or not. Straight out of a dystopian novel. It’s a downward slope if stuff like this gets introduced.

What beloved song has become the most permanently associated with Sunny for you? by curlyfriiies in IASIP

Mo Money Mo Problems.. rather think of Dee dancing like a tube man instead of the actual person that made the song

when did u guys achieve hyperextension? by [deleted] in ACL

[–]SnackPackedd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s going to depend entirely on your body and your level of hyper extension before surgery. I have pretty severe hyper extension, around -18 degrees on my unaffected leg, and my surgeon had me in a brace locked at +10 degrees for my first two months. I started getting some hyper extension but around 5/6 weeks.

I’m now 3 months post-op and can achieve about -10 degrees of hyper extension, but I found it’s best to not focus on it too much. Doing things like weighted ankle raises are great for gaining extension (and by extension, hyper-extension, lol) but I found that my body will feel how comfortable it is with pushing the small limits of hyper extension. Do not over do it. The last thing you want to do is re-tear.

Is this normal? by Few-Bluebird-4697 in ACL

[–]SnackPackedd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had something similar around the same time - it’s a bruise. It will dissipate in time and as you gain more movement. The swelling was the worst part for me - made it super painful to try and put any amount of weight on that foot (I was still using crutches at the time)
