Just thought I'd bump this thread.... I had my ACL reconstructed and my lateral meniscus "shaved" in my left knee almost 6 months ago to the day.
The first couple of days afterwards were not a very good time, and the first shower was a little humiliating, but otherwise recovery was more just a PIA.
I ran my first 10km race today and finished with a pretty good time. I'm limping a little now but I believe that's more the meniscus swelling than anything.
Just wanted to thank everyone for the advice and to anyone having the surgery, don't worry, it's not the end of the world, you can get back to where you were prior to the surgery with a little effort/determination.
