I had this exact same surgery 7 years ago after tearing ACL/meniscus playing basketball. Patellar tendon graft FTW! (I joke that real men donate their own tissues) For me, the ACL has been perfect ever since. Wish I could say the same for my meniscus and cartilage - I subsequently tore my meniscus 2 more times (each time in a non-vascular area so they just sanded it down, no sutures like you had), and then 5 years later I tore a chunk out of my articular cartilage that had probably been weakened years before when I did my ACL. That led to an OATS procedure where they took bone plugs from a non-weight bearing part of the knee and transplanted them in holes bored where the lesion was. That last procedure was pretty fun as it entailed 6 weeks on crutches, non-weight bearing, during which period my wife and I had our first kid (yay for timing!). Anyway, that just to say hang in there (I imagine your rehab is pretty much over by this point, but it probably still aches?), and I hope your ACL graft (good call with the patellar) holds up as well as mine and your meniscus better. Oh and enjoy the achiness that comes with changing weather. I was rather amused that that apparently is a real thing. :)
