Welcome to the family and good to see you move from lurker to active status. Now, let's see if we can get some answers for you that you can use.
I used to be a runner too, so I can understand your desire to get back into it. My knees have pretty much told me I can continue to walk or if I persist in running that walking may become questionnable.
Long story short, I don't have any answers for you right now, but I know we have runners in the family and hopefully one of them shares your situation and can help.
Since your surgery is pretty recent it may be a little soon to be worrying too much about your long term future. You're in therapy and from your post succeeding at it, so there's no reason not to be hopeful that in time the running can resume.
Normally, people start off in the Introduce Yourself forum, but as you are far far past those newbie issues, I'd say you are in the right forum for your particular situation. It may take a little while for you to get some answers, so hang in there and be patient, they will come.
Welcome to the family
