Girlfriend came to the gym with me after 6 years of trying, interesting trying to teach someone with ZERO kinesthetic sense how to lift weights lol

Also I wore a vest to the gym today, don't usually, and a kid in the gym about 13 asked me how to train shoulders - 12 years of lifting weights finally paid off 😂

Met with my surgeon today, so actually my MPFL is entirely gone (ligament that holds patella) and osteochondral fragment actually seems to have come from the patella.

Hopefully a date for surgery in the next few weeks. They're gonna try pin the fragment back where it came from it they can, if not just remove it and hope for the best. Chance of failure even if they do fix it back which would then need further surgery.

They're also gonna repair my MPFL whilst they're at it.

Recovery timeline depends on whether they fix the fragment back or not, if they do it's longer as to maximize chance of it working which means period of immobilisation - said begin running at 4 MONTHS! But this is the best chance of good long term outcome.

The patella cartilage is generally just a bit of a mess and may or may not cause problems down the line.

Pretty bummed have to say but can only take it day by day.

Today was the big day with my surgery, now I can finally look forward to making some progress!!

Haven't seen my surgeon yet but seems like they couldn't put the fragment back as it was just cartilage with no bone so I'm assuming this is a quicker recovery for the ligament reconstruction alone.

They've actually given me the fragment back lol.

D4 post op, finally back at home (had to fly to another city for my surgery and stopped there for a few nights after to rest). Didn't really attempt any rehab until today as pain was pretty bad, weaned myself off tramadol/codeine today. Also got a pretty extensive supplement stack for recovery going.

Today did 3 X 10 straight leg raise, pretty damn sore and quads not really firing, mostly coming from hip flexor.

3x20 straight leg hip addiction
3 X 20 straight leg hip abduction
Some isometric hamstring contractions

Some work I getting to extension with a raised heel, not too far off I don't think. Flexion still pretty bad but early days and still pretty swollen. Icing as much as I can.

Have first physio apps Friday. Won't do much more than this till then. About to attempt my first shower lol.

Quad is completely off, arthrogenic muscle inhibition is pretty wild. Like my brain just isn't connected to my quad anymore. Just bought a therabody powerdot EMS - from the same brand as theragun. Seems legit, getting this quad firing is gonna be a massive part of rehab so hopefully it helps.

Powerdot (EMS) is really cool, turned up yesterday - got my quad firing better than I have been able to basically since my injury and certainly since surgery (nearly 3 months ago now). I'm sure it's gonna be a great adjunct to physio particularly in these early days

Still limited to basic quad contractions at terminal range, straight leg raises, hip abduction/accuction and a bit of prone hip extension too.

Physio tomorrow. Think I could probably drive now so hopefully get back in the gym this week for some right leg/upper body/seated ski erg.

1 more week til partial weight bearing!

Return to the gym today

R leg > for the neuromuscular carry over to the contralateral side
RDL 16kg 3x10
Leg press 44kg 3 X 10
Leg ext 28kg 3 X 10
Leg curl 14kg 3 X 10
Calf raise 3 X 15

Left Leg gets the daily rehab routine which is currently
-NMS
-4 way straight leg raise (hip flex/ext/add/abd)
-quad contractions, very small ROM in terminal ext 100s of repsa day, some prone TKE and today started doing some standing banded TKE
-isometric hamstring work (graft from gracillis so taking it easy here)
-rom work heel slides/passive hangs

Started partial weight bearing today. Think my ROM is probably better than it has be since 9/9/22. Swelling and pain mostly under control now.

Sigh, I forgot how long all of this can be. I've had lots of chronic tendinitis and the like but its been 11 years since I dislocated my ankle which was the last big ordeal.


I had a dream about running the other day, got me I the hurts. Damn I wanna run, so frustrating.

Ttx face pull 2 X 15
Seated Curl 16kg 2 X 10
Tri pdown 20kg 2 X 15

I can really tell how much my CV fitness has dropped off just by how gassed this made me lol. Rn my only options (i think?) are arm bike and seated ski erg which tbh make me so depressed that I can't face it.

Hopefully I can get on an exercise bike or in a pool sometime soon.

Not cleared for submersion from a wound care point of view yet unfortunately but soon it will be an option. I'm not a great swimmer (especially freestyle) but I may get a few lessons to brush up and then who knows, maybe I'll do a triathlon ha.

Physio today, started to load things up a little with some bodyweight quarter squats (assisted - crazy how weak it is lol) overall happy with progress though.

Did 15m on the ski erg yesterday first time in a while
Also did some assisted (trx) Peterson although struggled with the eccentric (pain)

Today
30/12/22
SLRDL L 10kg 3 X 10, R 24kg 3 X 10
Leg press R 51kg 3 X 10
Calf raise pin 2 3 X 20
Leg ext R 35kg 3 X 10 L end range 7kg 3 X 20
Leg curl R 21kg 3 X 10 L end range 7kg 3 X 20
Rev hyper 2 X 20

Really struggling with ROM. Still only got like 65-70degrees at best so really limits the strength side of rehab as limited I what can with this... pretty fed up now!
