hi jason,

 

this is a very quiet forum ( guess that's a good thing).  are you in therapy?  if you can't do leg raises i imagine your quads are very weak from immobility?  did they (if you're in therapy) do heel slides (with or without a big ball?)  i imagine your therapist will tell you what is best to re-build the muscles.

 

i completely tore my acl in my left knee on febb 22 while shoveling my driveway.  guess i should tell everyone i did it skiing- sounds more fun.  didn't have surgery as orthopedist says i was too old ( i'm 50 not dead!) but i imagine he meant because i'm not athletic.  did pt for about 6 weeks (2x week) until insurance company deemed me healed- hate hmo's.  i continue doing all my exercises at home and will have to do so for the rest of my life if i want to maintain some stability.
