I did the elliptical machine for the first time since the surgery today!!! I was a bit nervous. But then the girl on the machine next to me asked "ACL?". Yup. She said that she was four months out from her surgery and had just been cleared to run. I said congrats and that I was 5 weeks out and had just been cleared to do the elliptical. She said "You can do it!". It was just the encouragement that I needed. Sometimes people are really nice.
I only did 10 minutes and was not just allowed to have any resistance. But it was fun and felt like quite the accomplishment!
