DD had ACL reconstruction two weeks ago, and I would love to hear your experiences. Did your DD regain full strength and range of motion? How long until she was comfortably practicing, batting, playing hard?
DD can be a little hard to keep down, and she came out of surgery feeling better than expected and lit up when they looked impressed that she had 120* ROM at her one week post op visit. Her doctor gave her a fairly stern talking to that she can't rush her rehab, but he told her she can walk to tolerance without crutches so she hasn't touched them since. My biggest fear is that she won't observe the restrictions in place if they don't hurt. A lot.
Surgery was 3/31. Assuming we can keep her rehabbing correctly, does fall ball seem at all a possibility? What about being fully back in shape for HS try outs? She will be a freshman next year and we don't live in the same town as her HS. She has never played in the rec program that feeds her HS and only knows a few kids. I know they will have heard good things about her, but they won't have seen her play. She is worried about going to tryouts rusty.
