Joe Lauzon provides an update on the rehabilitation process he's enduring weeks after knee surgery:
I have still been walking with the brace when I leave the house but I can walk without it around the house. I was at rehab and they said it was okay but I was super nervous about it. I had visions of my knee exploding or something! It was fine though.My weight has dropped quite a bit… I was around 170 when I hurt my knee. I weighed myself for the first time since surgery and I am 156. I lost 14 pounds! I knew I was going to lose some weight when I saw how flabby my whole leg is, but I thought I would be a little heavier than that. All muscle in my leg is gone… quad, hamstring, calve… all gone.
It will be interesting to see how Lauzon recovers from the injury. I suffered my fair share of injuries during my baseball career, and it was much harder mentally to overcome them than it was physically. It's evident that it's going to be a mental challenge for Lauzon. Just read the last sentence aloud. Keep your head up kid.
