Sorry about the ACL's, I know it sucks right now, but you'll get through it and have a greater appreciation for the little things like walking and just being healthy.
I initally tore my ACL in my right knee in August 2014 and had surgery a month later. I opted to go with a cadaver graft (donor tissue) due to my surgeon's recommendation. I did my research and found that it's not usually recommended for younger patients (I was 20 at the time), but he was adamant that it was the best procedure so I took his word for it. The first week after surgery is the most difficult, stuck in bed all day with your knee aching with the slightest movement. Along with the pain killers, best thing to do is to ice and elevate. I'd highly recommend investing in an Ice Machine it will make your life a lot easier. Ice was my best friend and would alleviate my pain. After the first week, the pain subsides and it's mostly just grinding everyday in rehab to get back to full strength.
I ended up tearing the same ACL again last month playing basketball and I'm getting ready to go through everything again. This time I'm opting for a patella graft because research shows it is the strongest graft. The best advice I can give you is to remain positive through it all. The process is just as much mental as it is physical. I threw myself a big pity party and I had a tough week post surgery because of it. It's very cliche to say, but it is what you make it. Have a positive outlook and be mentally strong, everything else will take care of itself.
Best of luck to you my fellow ACL friend!
Edit: If you do purchase the Ice Machine, which I HIGHLY recommend, it's cheaper to buy the 2 items separately. The link I included in the original post was for $126.48.
Cooler = $45.39
Knee Cyro = $46.99
Not stupid, some of these seem intentionally hard to figure out :) This is the one I have, it says non-motorized, but it plugs in and pumps, so I call it motorized. Sorry for the confusion.
