Skiing has nothing to do with this!

Talked to a good friend who is a PT/AT and got some good info on surgeons, etc.
Thinking of having it done in April after preplanned family spring break vac in MX. Going to get fitted for a don joy brace this week so i can enjoy vac.

Pop an extra hydrocodone before you go to your first PT session.

pt was 24h post op.....still had nerve blocker in effect so got a demo and list of exercises to do once it was gone. Did them every hour yesterday. Walking "as tolerated" turned into the full distance from BR to Kitchen to couch without issue

Sounds like things went well and that's good news. With the spring we're having, it doesn't look like there will be any rush to get out on the water this year!
