In this episode, I share a solo update on my knee surgery, focusing on what a meniscus repair is, how it differs from older meniscus procedures, and why I chose this path as a runner.
I also break down my current recovery status, the milestones ahead, and the realistic tradeoffs of trying to preserve long-term knee function. I talk through the decision-making process behind surgery, what the surgeons found, and why the rehab timeline is so restrictive at first. I also get honest about the frustration of being non-weight bearing, while still feeling optimistic about the possibility of returning to sport.
