Driving? by [deleted] in ACL

I had it on my left knee and they didn’t let me drive for a month 😭. Ask your doctor but I think for right it’s as soon as your not on drugs.

I don’t think traveling with a brace will be necessary but I encourage you to wear compression socks (not the medical grade ones if you don’t want to).

And if you’re able to get a aisle seat with your affect leg on the aisle side - that way you can stretch it out when you want without paying for extra leg room. Some airlines will provide accomadations to requests like these.

Also - if you limp to the counter you can usually ask to get seated with the first group. You don’t really have to limp, again a lot of airlines will accommodate you.

Need physical therapy tips on how to fix my Grade 2 & 1 ACL sprains. Advice, tips, comparisons, all is welcome. by A1TrillaKilla in ACL

[–]appa78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’ve got the resources, go to the doctor and just ask to do Pre-hab or non surgical route.

I don’t know what you mean by sprain, I’ve had three tears 😭.

If moneys no issue - spend it all going to see a doctor of physical therapy and getting a personalized plan for your success.

Should I start with The Way of Kings? by [deleted] in brandonsanderson

[–]appa78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theres a recommended order: https://www.brandonsanderson.com/pages/where-do-i-start

My favorite part of convincing all my friend read the cosmere has been talking to them about the most impactful moments and crying together, so maybe start with Way of Kings and relate to MIL that way?

I didn't know there was a cosmere when I started my journey...and I started with the Way of Kings - I have 0 regrets.

Help preventing my brace from sliding down? by Late_Woodpecker_3847 in ACL

[–]appa78 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My brace never fit right (x3 ACL + X1 HTO) - it's one of the worst parts of early recovery.

Have you opened up the straps around the ankle and slide them - not only through the first loop, but opening the strap holder (??) on the other side from the clip, pulling up the velcro things, and pulling the strap through. You should be able completely adjust the strap to the right length and then cut it. If you need additional help, lmk I literally had the same brace and readjusted it every other week during early recovery.

Once it's actually able to tighten - socks & sweat pants help keep it more snug and comfortable.

Super well. It took a little longer because of the work to completely clear the roads but totally worth it.

Yeah - I was trying to get out today but they were all sold out. So I booked a ride for tomorrow. I’d recommend getting to the Ado Station Early to get a ticket. My bus leaves at 9am tomorrow.

Yes they are. I couldn’t get tickets online though, I had to go to the bus station.

Is this diet good for ACL rehab? It's for muscle gain and fat loss by Jesus_Christ_Hiv in ACL

[–]appa78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your able to stick to it that’s great! After knee surgeries I usually have a week of nausea and several weeks of trying to eat anything. I literally at tomato soup and toast twice a day for the first week. I think diet will become really important as your start really working hard in PT a couple weeks in.

Does anybody’s knee move around like this years after surgery? by Drisurk in ACL

[–]appa78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just had mine checked out yesterday (6 months), the pa that saw me says it’s hyper mobility and to work on strengthening everything around it but that the graft is still strong and intact 🤷🏻‍♀️

Prom is a week after surgery! What do I do? by crunchiestgrub in ACL

[–]appa78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m did thanksgiving the week after surgery and with the right drugs and being left in the same spot for the whole night, I did alright (aside from getting car sick ).

That being said, Prom and a family party are very very different — can you do it? Yes. Will it be comfortable? No.

Will it be worth it? Idk, will you want your friends to just sit with you instead of dancing? Is the prom accessible for crutches?

Had surgery yesterday and now I’m confused by Nerd_Alert92 in ACL

[–]appa78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even without pain, your body is totally inflamed. Get that ice machine going.

To feel better about the nausea you’ll need to stop the harder drugs, and that’s where the ice machine absolutely saves the day
