Isolated ACL Tear

My MRI results came back and I completely tore my ACL but my meniscus is in tact. I heart that post op is a little easier. Would love to hear the experiences of people on the same boat after surgery including the pain levels, how soon you were able to start walking normally without braces or crutches, walking up and down stairs w/o braces or crutches, bending knee all the way back, jogging etc.

I don’t play sports so I’m more concerned about being independent again and having full ROM.

I’m 25f and can currently straighten and bend my knee pretty easily - would this make my recovery any easier?
