is it just the angle or did your swelling go up massively on day 4 and 5?

It's the angle on day 4, but on day 5 the swelling was up... I think that had more to do with the time between me exercising it and taking the picture as with all things being equal, I noticed a reduction in swelling pretty much every day...

At least a month... maybe more... It's hard to predict how everything's going to heal and my muscles bounce back...

yeah I hear ya... have you atleast been able to work on streetfightering it? or your mobility or lack there of made it too difficult?

Looks like its healing nicely. As far as PT goes, focus on exercises that strengthen the quads. However, avoid leg extensions like the plague. They are hell on knee structure unless done 100% correctly. Best of luck. It takes a while to get back to 100%, so be patient.

what can you do that works the quad that isn't basically the same movement as leg extensions?

Yeah, there's no way I'd be able to navigate the garage in the condition I am in... Plus my dad's trailer is in there so there's no fucking room to work on anything... I'd have to move the bike out and I don't trust myself at this point yet... Not sure if I could throw my leg over it for one and if it started to come over on me, I'd probably end up eating shit and fucking up my knee even worse...

My plan was to do leg extensions, sans weights to start... Also thinking of getting an exercise bike... What exercises would you recommend?

Squats? Step ups?

This post makes me sad. One month to the day it happened and I'm thinking another month or so... Shit. 11 months later... fucking damnit.
