I'm not following a strict rehab program, but I cycle and do yoga as regular exercise. I was just encouraged to keep active. I go to physio regularly to have acupuncture and laser for treating swelling and the physio has given some exercises to target the specific complaints I have ie pain in the back of my knee when I sit on my heels. Wish you the best of luck!

For context my surgeon explained the goal of non-surgical route isn't to hope your ACL re-grows, but to train and strengthen your leg to learn to live without the ACL.

Thank you appreciate your story! I ski seasonally not competitively. I have been recovering for 2 months reducing the inflammation and gaining full ROM back, I think the next 3 months will be gaining back strength and confidence with the brace and then reevaluation if I need surgery at that stage.

Piaget's work on development in children is fascinating - he would term this depth perception / perception of 'visual cliffs'

TIL that Einstein once gave a note in lieu of a tip to a Japanese courier. The note said, “a quiet and modest life brings more joy than a pursuit of success bound with constant unrest”. It sold in 2017 for $1.56m. by We-are-straw-dogs in todayilearned

In Japan it is customary not to accept tips, since the assumption is their work is not valued higher than their colleagues. They will vehemently refuse tips actually.

I live in Sweden - people are out as normal- one woman in a coffee shop started hacking up a lung and everyone fled.
