I wish you the best and will be praying for you.

I had my ACL and MCL done at the same time. I misunderstood the tech when he described the use of the CPM machine and starting the day after the surgery I was increasing the motion by 1 degree an hour all day long. Within three days I had maxed out the motion of the CPM. On day 4 I went for my followup, and the doctor took me off crutches. He had me walking without the brace at home and with the brace everywhere else. I was driving within a week and have had a great recovery. On week 3 I went to PT and they did the tests and I mad already surpassed what the Houston Rockets team considers 27 week post op motion and strength. I am going to chalk this up to God for his healing and making me misunderstand the CPM instructions!

You will be very glad you had the surgery. I waited 4 years after my injury and am kicking myself to this day for waiting.
