ACL tear surgery recovery?

I tore my acl in my knee in june and had the surgery for it june 28. I have been going to physical therapy but i am eager to get back to sports. The surgery went very well and surprisingly, even when people told me i would most likely be in pain, i experienced no pain throughout the surgery and after i woke up. My physical therapy seems easy, but it seems that it is just going so slow and taking so long. Have any of u had the surgery and does it get any easier for the rehab? I recently visited my surgeon and i got permission to no longer wear my knee brace when i am at school or anything but when i got back to sports i will need it. I am wondering if the rehab will be any easier and if when you go back to sports if you are very nervous and careful about it or do u simply forget about it? Thanks!
