He said it was excellent physical therapy after knee replacement surgery. I was driving 165 miles a day back then, so lots of shifting.

If she had orthoscopic to just repair tissue damage, then I can see staying off a clutch for a few weeks. Good luck with her recovery!
She's got a portion of her menescus that's torn and folded under itself. It was pretty obvious in the MRI and the ortho doc said that no amount of PT would make a difference-- he's got to go in and cut the piece out and then reshape/smooth the area where it was.

It'll be done arthroscopically, so she should be back to full-function in 4-6 weeks.

Been there done that too. I hope she has a successful surgery and recovery. Great that she's not using it as an excuse to give up three pedals. Good for her!!!

So. I dropped a few pennies for the Minister's new toy-- mostly for protection/keeping it nice, with just a little bit of gingerbread for lighting.

Frunk bin, trunk mat, rubber floor mats, LED side/turn lights (to get rid of the bright orange ones), and LED upgrade lighting for the cabin, frunk and trunk.

That..... should be about it, other than the comm module magic to get her CarPlay and MagSafe charging.

The plan is that she does a "Fly and Ride" over Easter weekend. BUT, if the weather is looking sketch when she gets ready to leave, we'll just have the car shipped here to Denver.

About the only other thing she'll need is a cup holder. But since there are a few different variations there, I want to wait until she's physically in the car to decide.
