6 week TTO/MACI update:

I saw my surgeon on Tuesday, he said everything is looking how it should at this point in my post op journey. He gave me the all clear for full weight bearing as tolerated and no brace unless ambulating. My X-rays show some healing, but not where he wants it just yet to turn me loose from the brace completely, we will re evaluate on December 9th for at 10 weeks post op. He said once I feel comfortable being able to slam on the brakes, I’m cleared to drive as well. His main focus is flexion and I am strugglingggg with that.

Anyone have any tips/tricks when it comes to bending your leg again? I can get to about 50-60 degrees if sitting in a chair, but laying down… maybe 45-50 degrees if I’m lucky. It all just feels so tight and swollen still && it all makes me so nervous. 😭😭
