November 10, Tuesday, I was finally underwent surgery for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction planned months. This surgery was a corrective measure for an accident that occurred in training on June 8 this year. Before anyone raises the stupid argument that sport and health that is not exaggerating in some parameter of activity, go forward to make sure the accident was caused by my carelessness. It occurred during a light warm up in the squat, without equipment, with only 120kg. It is precisely in light weights and with whom we have security that most accidents occur. The athlete gets less attention, which is a mistake. Although there is no systematic study on the subject, in conversations with friends, we conjecture that injuries often occur in times of stress unrelated to sports. During these periods, we have lapses in focus during the workout. The glitches and problemões who should be admitted to the party of our sport invade our minds and steal our attention during those lighter weights and times of heating. It happened to me: to return the bar to support, not noticed that both sides of the bar were properly secure. The left side was not. Once dropped the bar on his supposed support, the left side, loose, turned my body violently. The feet firmly fixed on the floor, who was turned to the left knee joint, instant suffering ruptured ligament, amputation of the meniscus, cartilage and bone to the owners.
In a month of rehabilitation work, I was squatting again with an interesting weight (monkey with no support band and soft , 150kg) and planned to keep the colendário competitive. However, looking at the best adaptations Motion to support monkey - one I had not tested yet - I thought wiser to stay competitive and land squats until they did the surgery, the joint was unstable. Any movement of the knees inward or forward, often at high loads and failure would be catastrophic.
Surgery for ACL reconstruction currently has a high success rate in athletes. Mine was done with the tendon graft patellar. The insertion was accurate and mechanically perfect motion. I was discharged on Wednesday. That same day I had a physical therapy session at Hospital Oswaldo Cruz and learned to walk with crutches supporting feet. Immobiliser to sleep.
Thursday respected the orders and did another physiotherapy session, with Bernardo (Aron). The problem is that Thursday I had no pain whatsoever. The "pain threshold" for bending does not exist.
Friday crutches turned ornament. Especially after that one fell on my foot and decided that they were an encumbrance. Caetano and consulted, since I cops as the rotation of the joint, which can not occur under any circumstances, I was released (or forced the bar?).
Today I am here on a sweltering heat, putting up with life. It's hard to think straight with so many off days. Rain or the blazing sun that nobody deserves, I'll train Monday. I speak ill of both machines, but second will do a tribute to them, detonating them.
Here below are some references of what I liked about the surgery. Further comments in the coming days, training log and rehabilitation in http://bodyspace.bodybuilding.com/marilia05/ , log of mental training in http://www.istadia.com/go/marilia05 and anything extra will appear there.
than that, post-surgical recovery is always very boring. I favor a certain isolation, good food and hyper-protein, something guaranteed by Marcão who sent me jars and jars of whey. Vitamin C, glucosamine and chondroitin ... but that is for another post, another day.
