I am so ready to start riding again. The only real warning I received was to avoid "cutting" sports until at least July. So, I will keep posting updates here on a regular basis to let people know how my "personal rehab" is going.

Doctor's visit
Today, my doctor basically cut me loose. I am having some issues with scar tissue and pain but he said that was normal, my hamstring tenderness is normal (and will take the most time to heal), and that I should discontinue formal therapy. I just called the therapist and moved my final appointment to late in the afternoon so he can evaluate me for discharge.

3 Months...
Well, it has been awhile since my last post. I have my 15 week follow up tomorrow morning. I went to therapy today after a week of really unusual pain below my knee. My therapist says that it is "scar tissue" and it is normal. I was told that I need to massage the scar tissue. I was also told it could be tendonitis which is normal...according to the therapist.
I have tried riding my bike on my trainer a few times and the knee really isn't ready. Maybe it is the scar tissue...I don't know but I have to get it ready to go....gotta ride 200 miles in July...
