Yesterday, I had an urge to run.  I haven't felt like that in a while.  I didn't run, because I know what would happen to my knee, but I really wanted to.
I've decided to make an appointment with my orthopedist to discuss different braces I could use to allow myself more impact without my ACL being irritated and swelling my knee up like a balloon.  I know he's going to tell me again that I need an ACL graft, but I'm not going to do that for at least another year.  I'm doing far too well losing weight, and I need to stay active.  A year of PT isn't in the cards right now!
Here's hoping there's a brace to help me out until I'm ready for more extensive solutions!
