Hi Sue, I just had my ACL surgery, and the main thing that they want you to do before the surgery is to get the muscles around your knee as strong as you can without hurting yourself further. I rode the stationary bike and did different kinds of leg lifts w/o much weight to gain back my strength. I hope everything goes well!!
