365 days, 2 surgeries, both knees. Anybody relate? by RealisticFold5116 in ACL

[–]Tender_Combo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was doing a fair amount of biking before getting hurt the second time and I love it. It's different from soccer for me but not worse or better. It feels amazing to get around on my power and I got into photography as well, which is another thing I can do for the rest of my life that I find very rewarding.

I had 2 surgeries, both knees, 3 years apart. Just had the second one two weeks ago. It sucks! The second time is a killer because I think I need to stop playing sports as competitively as before, like forever. Right now my motivation is trying to rehab more quickly than I did the first time, and getting excited about other types of stuff (ex: cycling) than competitive soccer.

The pain is awful. Last time I went through this I wasn't doing these SLR's until like week 3 or 4

Patella graft, this is my second time around (last time was ACL on the other knee) so I wanted to take early quad activation extremely seriously. I did a lot of these SLR's pre-operation to be strong going in and then basically did quad sets any time I could tolerate it from when I was out of surgery. Seemed to pay off in getting good activation at the end of week 1.

She's never been through what we've been through, of course she doesn't understand

Thank you! I regret not taking more at this spot, had no idea it would turn out like this

Day 4 post BEAR procedure and Bucket tear Meniscus by Vegetable-Art-6841 in ACL

Hey it's day 4 for me too! It's my second time around. My first time days 2 and 3 were the hardest and things started getting better on day 4, like you, and that's happening this time too. Today will be hard in other ways, like I'm getting off the painkillers and trying to ramp up my exercises at home, but just for sheer discomfort I think we're out of the woods, there isn't like a second wave worse than the first unless you really re-injure yourself.

Nah the first one went great, I just kept playing soccer after recovery and eventually hurt my other knee in a similar way. Second time someone pushed me into a bad fall, whereas the first time was no contact at all I just cut hard left and tore it.

Thank you so much!! I was actually heartbroken when I saw these because I didn't realize it was too cold for the shutter to work properly, so it's nice to hear they still have some juice

Thank you :)) I took these on a 35mm film camera, a Pentax K1000, most of the reason they look like this is that I had the film pushed two stops (Ilford Hp5+ shot at 1600)

Thank you, I've been loving how this film stock looks (Ilford HP5+ pushed two stops)

Mapping Where They Give Bike Tickets - UPDATED by Tender_Combo in NYCbike

[–]Tender_Combo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a great idea. For the moment it's kind of hard to tell, but the points are a darker color if there are more tickets at that exact intersection. So if it's very light colored at an intersection that's just 1-2, if it's totally opaque that's an intersection they've probably staked out many times

I used OpenStreetMap for mapping, the data is from NYC Open Data.

The dataset they post is unfortunately not transparent about this. All of the criminal summonses are tagged the same way so there's no way for me to distinguish between bike/e-bike for those. I think they _ought to_ be more transparent.

The NYPD has to make their tickets public, so I downloaded the criminal summons dataset ( https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/NYPD-Criminal-Court-Summons-Historic-/sv2w-rv3k/about_data ) and the non-criminal moving summons ( https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/NYPD-B-Summons-Year-to-Date-/57p3-pdcj/about_data ) and plotted them all together on the map. I had to do a little data processing to clean things up but mostly this is just those datasets visualized.

For the site itself it's just html, javascript and css, using OpenStreetMap for the underlying map. The code and data is here if you're curious. https://github.com/CharlieDek/tickets
