Rambles...: Ouch
http://mireille-rambles.blogspot.com/2011/03/ouch.html
Tuesday, March 22, 2011. Lately, our workouts have shifted to include stuff that will whip us back into shape for Ultimate frisbee. That means jogging and some good leg exercises. But there's a problem. Mr Right Knee is hurting. I'm fine, of course. Heck, I got fixed and I'm new and improved. I can handle the workouts. But buddy over here is sore all over! Must be all that over-compensation coming back to haunt us. If it's not one, it's the other. *sigh*. April 3, 2011 at 8:48 PM. Grats on the kid!

Saturday, January 2, 2010. You know your ACL is healed when. When you're walking across a driveway, covered with fresh snow and hiding a thin layer of deadly black ice. The good leg slides forward while the bad leg twists back. Nothing pops out of socket. We passed the test! I held it together during what could have been a terrible disaster.

Rambles...: April 2011
http://mireille-rambles.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 10, 2011. My fellow ACL bloggers have been churning out 2 year post-op updates so I'm feeling the pressure to follow suit. Here's a quick summary:. 1 Occasional cracking during some yoga poses. 2 No more numbness. 3 Still got some scar tissue. Probably because Mireille was too squeamish to massage the wound. I've made peace with the fact I might be dented forever. 4 Still can't bend quite as much as good knee but the difference is barely noticeable. Only a problem for certain yoga poses.

Rambles...: August 2011
http://mireille-rambles.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 2, 2011. You can fix something that's broken. But then is it really ever as good as it once was? Something feels off and it's hard to tell if the injury was meant to tell us that we should be moving on to other sports and things in life. Or is it just that we just aren't as fast or athletic as we once were? Not that we were ever really that. Good to begin with but it's really hard to accept being not. A few more Ultimate games left this season. Will continue to work on getting better.

Rambles...: November 2009
http://mireille-rambles.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 20, 2009. Girls can jump, y'all. After the injury, Mireille was surfing all over the net trying to find out as much as possible about knee injuries and recovery. She found a DVD called Girls Can Jump, which is a program designed specifically for ACL injury prevention in women. However, it's good for anyone - we're just more vulnerable, of course. Http:/ www.girlscanjump.com/. We started the program last week and it's going well. All that jumping is good for the confidence. No pain, no sw...

Rambles...: February 2010
http://mireille-rambles.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 11, 2010. Almost one year since surgery. In a couple of weeks, it'll be one year since I went under the knife. Time flies. People still say to Mireille: "Wow, it took a long time to get well again.". Strangely, it feels like a distant memory but, at the same time, it feels like it was yesterday. That probably doesn't make any sense whatsoever but it's the best way I can describe it. And, by the way, that. Keep working at it.". Do we really need to hear that? Who do I think I'm fooling?

Rambles...: Back in action
http://mireille-rambles.blogspot.com/2011/03/back-in-action.html
Monday, March 14, 2011. We've signed up to play Ultimate frisbee again. This is going to be interesting. Haven't played in 2.5 years. However, Mireille still practiced her throws. So that shouldn't be an issue. It's going for the disc that is scary. Hope no one throws it to us in the end zone. The pressure! For anyone reading this with an injured ACL, don't worry. It's not that it took that. Long to recover. I also had a baby during that time. Caused further delay. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Rambles...: October 2009
http://mireille-rambles.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 18, 2009. Because what if I get chased by a bear? Mireille has been very disciplined throughout this whole process but lagging in one specific area: running. Running is pretty much the only thing holding us back from being a normal person again. Sure, we tried a few times but never fully succeeded. What's the point? We don't plan on going back to any running sports until next summer. But, Mireille is starting to think she needs to put more effort into this. Do you like running? Saturday, ...
