continued 3 tears later...3 months after ACL surgery

by Frances Pappas
(Fort Lauderdale Florida USA)

so I am the 3 tears lady and I have to admit it was a battle, between trying to stay ahead of the pain to giving sports rehab 100%. My surgeon used a cadaver for repairs so the healing process was faster but, i was unable to start rehab right away, i had to wait 3 1/2 weeks after surgery so i had a lot of catching up to do. I found a Fab rehab clinic and the owner Kathleene specializes in sports rehab and brought me back to life. The pain was so bad i had to take a pain killer before rehab for the first month and later was able to do the therapy without it and saw much improvement. Next month i start to run on the treadmill. This rehab has made me stronger and more fit. I am 50 yrs old and very active so i have been given a second chance and love it. It took me a while to find the rehab clinic that matched me and i found them. My saving grace is rehab, rehab, rehab............
