8 weeks and a day

So, I finally had the long-awaited follow-up with the doc this morning. He's "optimistic." He said that I can now do unlimited amounts of low impact cardiovascular exercise but to hold off on the running for another 6 weeks. I'm ok with that as I don't think I'm ready to run yet anyway. There are definitely at least a few kinks to work out, namely the discomfort at the arthroscopy incision above my knee with knee flexion and a cramping feeling in the hamstring (also with flexion). Both of these issues limit my ability to strengthen the hamstring and thus safely run.
