Don’t skip your post surgery PT. Your PT sessions have a huge impact on the outcome and can mean the difference between being a gimp for life, or having a full recovery.

Eat lots of protein while you’re healing. Your body needs protein to repair the damage caused by the accident and the surgery, without it you will be so devoid of energy, you’ll wonder if you’re dying after simple tasks like tying your shoes.

Don’t lose heart, recovery can be long, but it does get better.
