Blind Filmer Here - ACL Journey -

Week 3 of my ACL reconstruction recovery journey and I find myself visiting my favorite bakery and back in the gym (finally!). I am hoping to get the brace off this week. Things are looking up but the roller coaster of recovery continues. I am blessed to have a friend in this who had surgery 3 days after I did - we’re now a recovery couple. Physical therapy is going well and I am trying to keep my spirits high during this process. Thanks for being apart of my journey.

In November 2023 I was fighting for Team USA in Paralympic Judo in Santiago, Chile. This was the ParaPan American Games. It happens once every 4 years and is a big qualifier for the Paralympics. In the match that would award me a bronze medal it happened... I planted my foot and completely torn my right ACL. This injury ended my Road to Paris 2024. I was heartbroken but I am here to share my journey for myself and for others going through anything similar. It's a long road but I know I got this. Thanks for following along on the journey.

Despite a lifetime of adversity, a blind high school wrestler attempts to win a New Jersey State Championship before the end of his senior year. Anthony Ferraro has always tried to live a normal life. As he entered junior high, Anthony decided to try his luck at wrestling. After a dismal first season, he begged his father to enroll him in a wrestling club. His father obliged and found a coach willing to teach a blind kid to wrestle. The following year, despite his obvious disadvantage, Anthony went 24-1. Three years later, Anthony has set a number of goals for himself; to become the first three-time District Champ in his school's history, break the school record for most wins, and become the first blind state champion in New Jersey wrestling history. The question is, does he have a shot in the dark?

I'm sooo happy for You! I had titanium implants or a double ankle fracture and am severely vision impaired. I had to be in a wheelchair and then braces. I can SO very much relate!🎉🎉🎉 You go!

[@radiomeooow1128]

You Go, Tiger! Grrrrreat!

[@All_Might_Dada]

This is so inspiring man. Since tearing mine, I got my MRI and waiting for results but I do anticipate surgery is going to be happening. I missed the gym so much - but I'm back in until I get surgery. Then I'll be on the same path as you.

Anthony brother get a social worker or therapist you can just TALK to once a week. They are an independent person that you can just let everything out to. As a tough as nails guy, I can tell you it helps me a lot.

[@Asfvision]

That’s a good idea

[@bmo14lax]
