With some restrictions, and a stern warning lol.
I had my 8 week follow up appointment with my surgeon today. His first question was about Kung Fu, and my training schedule. His next words were to give it another month or so. Apparently I couldn’t hide the look on my face of disappointment? discouragement? pleading? I can’t say as I felt them all, and immediately opened my mouth to defend my thoughts, in which I got a finger to let him finish.
He advised he would leave it up to me, but also warned no running, jumping, or twisting. I am not yet fully healed, and can easily injure and tear again, until I am more healed. If it hurts - stop, heat/ice for swelling, and try to minimize pushing myself too much and causing a lot of swelling. I am able to start doing some time on the elliptical to get my muscles loosened, and build strength without the twisting, or jarring of running.
I was also given some answers on why I have 3 incisions, and losing about 20% of the meniscus that he had to trim.
I am very excited to be back on the mats again, even if still limited for a bit. That was expected, and I will be diligent in listening to what my body is telling me. See you all soon!
