I had knee surgery about 7 months. It was a mental thing initially, but I got back to not thinking about it. I am still far from being back to 100%. I did over 17 PT sessions to get ready to officiate the HS soccer season. I will be doing basketball soon. I am not 17/18 years old obviously, but I have to be able to keep up with them.
The speed and flexibility is still a work in progress. My orthopedic surgeon told me that I won’t be 100% until January or February, which is about a year from the surgery. The more I push myself the stronger I get.
I understand that Waddell has the best trainers and medical staff. He is years upon years younger than me. However, my timeframe is typically for what it takes most people to get back to 100% again. He could be an exception, but that is why I said in an earlier post that I think it will be later on in the season until he is 100% back.
