I had knee surgery

Well lets start with why i needed knee surgery! Back on August 20th, I was doing a jumpkick drill in kickboxing class that i have done many times and when i landed it i heard the most horrorfing sound ever! It sounded like a rubber band pop and i crumbled to the floor.. It hurt so bad that it took all my adrenaline to keep from crying. After about an hour of sitting there with ice on my knee, i tried to get up and walk but every step on my right foot would cause my knee to buckle and again send excruciating pains thru my knee. I saw a specialist 2 days later and it was a completely torn ACL. So i had to endure a month of Physical Therapy to get the range of motion back. I was scheduled for surgery a month later but had to cancel due to my hubby getting out of the military and losing insurance. As soon as our New insurance began in December i began looking for a doctor but chose to wait til after the holidays to go forth with the surgery.
Here we are now in March. I had my surgery three weeks ago on the 19th of February. I was really scared because i dont like being put to sleep. And then i didnt know how recovery would be afterwards.. And i still have 2 small children to be a mother to. A new friend of mine here in Chester kept the kids all day so that Daniel could stay with me.. Surgery went great and i then was told to stay completely off that leg for 2 weeks.. Which is not an easy task for a mom of 2. But i managed. After 48 hours i was able to take the bandages off and shower. There were only 4 small incisions being held with 1 or 2 stitches. Not too bad! Well here i am on week 3 and im walking on it and driving! YAY! Looks like i may be a fast healer!
48 hours after surgery before the shower!
5 days later!

I start physical therapy again next week. I still dont have full range of motion. I cant even get to 90 degrees yet, so its going to be a long road still. I was told that it would take at least 6 months for it to be completely normal. And in the mean time No twisting exercises or sports are to be done. So its going to be treadmill, elliptical, and bikes for me, for the next 6 months.. I guess its better than nothing..But boy do i miss group classes at the gym and summer softball league. But things could be alot worse so i will continue to count my blessings!
