Left knee dislocation
About
[Not so]Fun fact about me: I’ve had 3 knee surgeries, 2 of them involve reconstruction of 3 knee ligaments. In 2021 I dislocated my left knee in a freak climbing accident, and at the end of 2025 I had another freak climbing fall resulting in damage to my right knee.
Being outdoors and active has been a huge part of my identity, so it was depressing to spend weeks on end with limited mobility and the mental stress of complications. To help keep me motivated, I designed this Zelda-themed habit reward tracker, where I fill up a heart container with tokens for doing my daily PT regiment or chores. This helps incentivize everyday tasks that take 5 times longer, and the dopamine spike when I reward myself by exchanging tokens for wishlist items is a nice bonus.
It’s been a long and mentally tough journey to recovery for both injuries, but I’m proud of my independence and discipline.
