Evolution of knee braces

I just wanted to show the different knee braces that I had to use for the recovery of my ski accident. So, this is the first brace that I wore right after the accident. And I also was using the crutches.

This is the second brace, which was keeping my knee at a 30° degree angle. I look very unhappy here because it was the longest I had to wear. It was also the heaviest and very cumbersome.

This is my final brace, which is custom-made. At the beginning I was wearing it everywhere and all the time, but I am wearing it only for the cutting sports, which are downhill skiing, tennis, golf, and also hiking, etc. It is not likely that I will ever be skiing without this brace because my ligament is not strong enough... But you never know. Perhaps another miracle will happen!

Reminiscence of cycling training

 I took this picture in a place where I used to go practice racing bicycling technique (this is a part of the Experimental Farm in Ottawa). I did a lot of time trials there because it's just downtown Ottawa, but it looks like you are right int he middle of nature. And you don't have to stress about fast cars there too much because the limit there is 30 km/hour. it was such a great feeling to be physically there again even with my brace on...
