I had surgery for a torn meniscus repair. I’m on the couch for a least another month.

I’m using this precious expanded free time to compose music, my primary form of artistic expression.

Software-wise, I’m on a platform team for a large company. I’m making some performance enhancements to our http client, and a plug-n-play library for app devs to easily integrate LLMs in their products.

I had this done when I was 16. Be sure to finish the whole physical therapy regime, even after your knee feels normal again!

Piling on the "Do the Physical Therapy" train, I had this done 2 years ago, did the PT work and now back 100%. It's a pain (literally and figuratively) but future you will be super happy current you did the work. Look into chair yoga, it will help you keep all of the other bits stretched out. Good luck!
