Post op update
May 16 will mark 5mo since my surgery. Went for my follow up last week and the Dr asked me when I wanted to get back to riding [moderate]. I told him that I would like to be able to start training in June and possible hit a HS early July if he gives me the go ahead. Since the beginning he has been telling me that the earliest that he would give his blessing was late Aug early September.
His reply was, You can add jogging to your routine now, flat surfaces or treadmill. Barring any issues, since you seem to be about 1-1.5mo ahead of schedule, you can start riding/training [taking it very easy] at the end of the month. Again, if there are no issues, he will be ok with me hitting the race in July if I promise that the goal would be to just finish and not push it!
He said that I will continue to wear the knee brace everyday until September and for the ext two years for any type of sports. This is no issue for me since my CTi brace is so light I forget that I have it on most of the time!
This is awesome, you have to understand that I apparently have the most conservative Ortho surgeon on the planet!
