Excited and Scared all in one

I have my surgery scheduled for Dec. I am looking forward to being able to pay sports again, but worried I wont be at the same level i was before the injury. I'm also not sure how soon after do I start my PT and how often/long I will need to go for PT.

excited and scared

It is normal to feel a little of both. You should be able to get back to sports after your reconstruction - so that is definitely something to be excited about.

Most of the time people start PT a few days after surgery, and go for 2-3 visits a week for 4-6 weeks, and then move to doing exercises on their own at home for the next several months.
