Timeline: Tom Brady's road to recovery
Oct. 15, 2008
Early reports had Brady recovering well, but the week after his surgery Brady announced he underwent an additional procedure to clear out an staph infection in his knee. Brady recently blamed himself for the infection, saying he let son Jack (pictured, with Brady and wife Gisele Bündchen) climb on his shoulders and moved around the hospital room too soon after surgery. "I wanted to prove I could move around and get ahead of schedule, and nothing was going to stop me. Unfortunately I did too much too soon," Brady said.
