i WILL be wearing braces when i get back to riding again though, hopefully july-august....

Now that is interesting to me! I have been in some form of knee brace since my first visit with the Ortho, back in September about a week after the injury. The focus since [pre & post op] has been on strengthening the whole leg, in particular, the quad. My research has confirmed one thing, that every surgeon and Physical Therapist has a different approach and time line.
I also have got another CTi brace to wear/protect my other knee when riding as well.
Good luck with your recovery!
