rhawkins,

Congratulations on your return to the saddle.

In 1995 I had surgery to repair a torn ACL in my left knee.
I spent a bunch of time at PT post surgery.
I met several knee replacement patients.
It seemed to me that knee replacement was easier to rehab from than ACL repair, which makes no sense to me.

The stair climber machine brought me back the last 10-15%.

Jeff, still fat
