This is my recovery profile. I had a knee injury while playing volleyball and tore my ACL and Meniscus and I'm documenting my journey back to full health.

Ice after the PT session. Great passive range of motion to this point but still no active motion allowed.

[Gerard Rybarczyk @RecoveryofG]

First PT session today. Almost passed out part way through. Maybe some side effects from the anesthesia still lingering. Movement in my lower arm is great but a lot of pain in the shoulder as I start recovery.

[Gerard Rybarczyk @RecoveryofG]

Bandages off today for a shower. A lot more activity underneath than I expected.

The surgery revealed a partially torn rotator cuff, a posterior labrum tear that extended far enough to the superior labrum that they had to do repairs to the bicep tendon as well. I’ll be in a sling for 4 weeks and recovery might be longer than originally expected.

Time to reactivate the account. Going in for shoulder surgery to repair a tear in the rotator cuff.

@JaredWackerly Don't try to play a ten year window drafting all rookies and sophomores. Build your team for the next 3 years at most.

@AustinEkeler Working out to recover from ACL surgery. Plus a FF draft to top it off.

Progression over the last few weeks

[Gerard Rybarczyk @RecoveryofG]

9 foot rim,6 months post op.

Here's the current two leg comparison. Muscular healthy leg compared to the repaired leg lacking a lot of quad muscle

I'm still working on form but this was 225lbs. Definitely still having issues squatting low enough.

It's been awhile since my last update but I've been putting in work. 5 months post surgery but still a long way to go.

[Gerard Rybarczyk @RecoveryofG]

I'm out of the big brace as of this past Friday, just a compression hinged brace now. And yesterday I was able to do my first strength training exercises with a leg press and quarter wall sits.

[Gerard Rybarczyk @RecoveryofG]

2 month past op today, hoping the doc thinks I'm doing alright and the setback was minor.

[Gerard Rybarczyk @RecoveryofG]

Great PT session today, some of the movement and strength has returned.
