Back in high-school, I tore my ACL while wrestling. With my leg weakened, I have subsequently injured it enough that the my meniscus was also torn.

I elected to have a patellar tendon graft done. As I searched the web leading up to my surgery, I found a wide variety of different comments from people saying things like:

After X months, I can finally do <insert physical activity here> again.

What I didn’t find was any day by day accountings of the recovery period. I realize that this experience will be different for everyone, but I think its nice to know what others have gone through. With that in mind, I’ve decided to chronicle every day of my recovery here. Hopefully this will be of help to someone.
