Allison's ACI: February 2011
http://allisonsaci.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
A diary focused on my experience leading up to and through ACI surgery on my knee. Monday, February 14, 2011. Less than 6 weeks from the One Year Mark. First let me say, that I love when people leave comments and let me know if this journal has been helpful to them. It absolutely makes my day! I get an email when someone leaves a comment, so it does get noticed right away.) Good luck to those of you stopping by to prepare yourself! It was a life-changing experience, but it's been worth it for me. So over...

Allison's ACI: November 2010
http://allisonsaci.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
A diary focused on my experience leading up to and through ACI surgery on my knee. Wednesday, November 24, 2010. Yes, I know I posted the last post a little past the 7 month mark, but I was talking about an appointment that happened at about 7 months out. However, today actually does mark 8 months since my surgery. I am guessing that she was following various doctors within Johns Hopkins to understand their jobs better. Wednesday, November 17, 2010. Doctor's Guidance at 7 Months Out. So I went into the a...

Allison's ACI: July 2010
http://allisonsaci.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
A diary focused on my experience leading up to and through ACI surgery on my knee. Tuesday, July 13, 2010. Technically I am in phase 3 now, but there is no sudden change of activity or guidance. Everything is gradual. I did however ask if we could do a few new exercises in PT and Sandy showed me a few. They really were very simple stretching exercises mostly, but she warned I might be sore. When this morning rolled around, I sure was! Friday, July 9, 2010. First Day Back in the Office and Other Things.

Allison's ACI: May 2010
http://allisonsaci.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
A diary focused on my experience leading up to and through ACI surgery on my knee. Friday, May 14, 2010. I have been seriously stepping up my prone exercises to straighten my leg. It has led to yet another lesson learned! 11 Do a Complete Variety of Exercises. Dr Trice and Sandy both said to use a scale to see how much 25-50 lbs really feels like. I did, and it is a lot of weight! So, as much weight as I dare right now falls inside Dr. Trice's guidance. That's good to know. Tuesday, May 11, 2010. I am af...

http://allisonsaci.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
A diary focused on my experience leading up to and through ACI surgery on my knee. Thursday, March 24, 2011. Today is one year from my ACI surgery, and that is a pretty big milestone. I also had an appointment with Dr. Trice today so I have updated guidance. Yay! It's not a total removal of restrictions, but it is progress. So, here's an update on what I am experiencing. I am not in pain, but the knee is weak and I still guard it and protect it. I am also still aware of it most of the time. Let m...If I ...

A diary focused on my experience leading up to and through ACI surgery on my knee. Wednesday, March 31, 2010. Before blissfully allowing me alone to sleep, I was informed that I had to start using the CPM machine at 11:00 that night. Just before 11:00, my husband rejoined me in the private room to help me through that first night. He brought movies. :). At any rate, they increased my pain medication and eventually I was able to regain myself and rest. Warning: GR 5) outlining the steps taken in the proce...
