ACL SURGERY RECOVERY VLOG | WEEK 2 | acl and meniscus surgery/recovery | ACL RECONSTRUCTION

Hi, welcome to my channel.
July 2021 I took a blow to my knee during a take down in jiujitsu. After visiting the NHS and private health care at Spire, it was confirmed that I had fully snapped my ACL and gained a meniscus tear.
I had to wait 3 months post injury for the operation due to a significant amount of swelling still around the knee. My surgeon wanted me to gain as much extension back in the leg before we operated.
October 2021 I had my surgery which was full ACL reconstruction and a repaired meniscus tear.

I am 34 years of age, a wife and a mother of a 5 year old boy. My career is a yoga teacher!
During this video I share the highs and the lows whilst going through the first two weeks of recovery.
I hope that this vlog helps anyone going through surgery and gives them a clear picture of recovery and pain.

Please subscribe to the channel to come on an adventure with me during my rehab and progress as I try to get back to being a yoga teacher and managing as a mother.
