For more of my ‘knee surgery journey’ posts, and to find out how I recovered so fast, please click here. To your health, You-Be-Healthy.com […]

I’ve been out kite surfing since Month 2 ‘post knee operation’ with the help of my new knee brace! At Month 3, I ventured out to the mountain bike trails where my trusty brace passed its test with flying colors. I have a Generation II brace for my other leg and used it after I […]

I am just in from my 3rd single track mountain bike ride post knee operation and I am ‘flying high’! Nothing beats being outdoors in the forest on fun, ‘shwoopy’ single track trails. It really is exhilarating! I am at 7.5 weeks post ACL knee operation. I’ve been biking on the stationary bike in the […]

I just found this ACL knee operation on YouTube. This is what I had done! Some blood and gore here – just a heads up! You can read posts on my uber fast recovery and what I did pre-operation to help speed up the process. I am over a month ahead and have the OK […]

I am learning about so many cool, new products from my anti-aging doctor and his team. I just love it! The latest is a machine called the Power Plate. It is actually mainstream in Europe, according to a friend of mine who was on the Olympic Dutch bob sled team. We are apparently a little […]

My fantastic massage therapist, Andre, advised me to buy Traumeel, a homeopathic cream, which would help with swelling after my ACL Knee surgery. He always has great tips so I knew that I needed to find this cream ASAP. I immediately went out and picked up a tube of ‘Traumeel’, made in Germany, and started […]

My knee operation recovery is still going perfectly and about a month ahead of schedule! I did my first hike this weekend at 25 days post surgery – very exciting! It was great for the mind to get out in nature – my favorite place to be. And if the Mind is happy, the Body […]

My knee has had its fair share of icing the last few months. I borrowed a friend’s cryo cuff for my post-surgery and it did the job. It is a cooler with a cuff that wraps around the injured area, such as the knee. You add water/ice to the cooler which cools the ‘cuff’. The […]
