4 weeks after

The knee now looks almost normal. Just a couple of swollen spots where the instruments went in.  It is also working fine, as far as I can tell, but there is a little click on the upper portion of the right side. Really not sure to what this is due. It could be as a result of the swelling and the cut on the meniscus that they took out. I'll find out the next time I go.

I was yelled at last week at the match to put my brace on. OK. I've had it on since. Not fun, but realized that the brace is suppose to be on for 4 - 6 weeks. Not sure why though. I do wish that the doctors would explain more about the mechanics of the healing process. This would be a background on the "why" and permit one to take liberties as you feel fit, if experienced. Generally doctors only tell you what to do. Perhaps this is because 1. they have little time to explain. 2. Most people don't care about the explanations and just do what they say. 3. If they explain it to curious people like me, it's likely they may take too may liberties and screw themselves up.

Whatever the case, if I screw myself up because of lack of information, I consider it worse than having had it and done it purposefully. 

Working out is going ok. I was apparently doing too much biking, 45 minutes. I was yelled at again for this. The idea is to do basically nothing for 6 weeks. Impossible for me. So I cut it back to 20 mins.  Weights are doing well.  Lots of core and a upper body. I know that I am also stretching the ligament from time to time, but with any luck, I'm not doing any damage.

2 more months before I can run in a straight line. I can't wait. I may explode before.
