I'm still sort of astounded that your surgeon thinks you can rehab this on your own ... but whatever ...

You're not alone there. I had a lot of confidence in this guy prior to yesterday. Now I'm really wondering about him.
Thank you so much Julie!

I'll find or make pictures if these descriptions don't make any sense. Just let me know ...

All makes perfect sense. No pictures needed. However, I'm wondering just how hard I need to push myself? Stop
before ANY discomfort, push just a little, Push a LOT? I can tell already that developing the flexibility is going to be one of the toughest things to do.

1. Straight leg raises: Lie on your back, and keeping your knee locked straight, lift it in the air about 24 inches. Pause, and slowly lower. Work up to 3 sets of 20 reps.

I do these already. Groovy.

And now for the glutes and hamstrings ...
1. Bridging: Start with two-leg and progress to one-leg (when you get here, do them on each leg). Lift high ... and hold at the top for a good 10 seconds. 10 reps. 3 sets.

I did 2 legged front bridge (and side bridges) for 1 minute the other day (since my injury occured) but I had on my leg brace. Hmm..i bet it will be different without it.
I'll be doing all you recommended every day and let you know how it goes. You have no idea how helpful this is.
