Well it's 1 week and 1 day before my ACL surgery. My surgery is scheduled for 8am on Thursday, 20 February. I had another physiotherapy session this afternoon, the last one before it.

The session went well -- both Jodi and Chuck (the therapists) were there and put me through the bank of exercises.  I've been to ProActive about a half-dozen times now, each an hour. A few times the exercises have hurt for a day or two afterwards, but I think that means that my leg is getting stronger.  I've been told that will speed up the recovery.

I set appointments for the Monday, Wednesday and Friday after the surgery.  Dr Kobs said that I will need to do physio three times a week, starting 2 days after surgery.

I'm also meeting with Dr Kobs this week. After meeting with Ling Yu, on the 10th, I felt I needed to talk directly with Dr Kobs to understand exactly what he's going to do during surgery. I'd previously arranged to meet with him on Friday, but I got a call today asking if we can meet tomorrow, Thursday, instead. Hopefully all my questions will get answered.
