Well, tomorrow is the day...I finally go in to have my ACL reconstructed...

For those who don't know, back in May, while playing soccer, I tore my ACL, MCL, and fractured my tibia...Oh, also had a torn meniscus that was repaired 3 months ago...

I've been wearing a knee brace since...I'll be glad when I don't have to do that anymore! But for now, I'll be back on crutches for a bit...and another brace! Yay me! LOL I have physical therapy scheduled for the following day...Doc wants me to get started on it right away. I'm hoping I'll be cleared to ride by the Bash! :please:
 
back to gimpy avatar!! hey at least this one has a better prognosis as to down time.. Good luck with PT.. I felt awful after they did my ACL (worse than I ever did after it tore) but things are pretty much 100% today... (no more lifting big printers for me)..

you going to watch?
 
hope you get better fast :thumbsup: Have them start moving the knee the evening of the surgury, will make it easier the next day. They did that to my shoulder and it made a huge difference.... at least thats what the dr said my tail was high on pain meds :laugh: :whistle:


see you in april!

Yep - I have the avatar ready LOL

I want to watch, but the doc said NO! Dangit! As soon as he told me that I was getting the nerve block...I said "So, does this mean I can watch the fun?" He said "No, you'll be asleep..." *sigh*

Doing the hamstring...so I'm already expecting more pain from that, too.
 
prayers going out for you bro...let me know if there is anything i can do for you :beerchug:
 
Hey, if you don't get cleared for riding at the bash you can always hang around and help prep food.

I'm just sayin'. :whistle:

Thanks! I'll plan on asking about that. Anything I can do to shorten the healing process...I'm game. Of course, I may need more Lortab :whistle:

Hmmm - yeah, I could do that...pretty good at it. However, it may get crowded with Sam already there.

I know! I'll hang around and be the official taste-tester! :thumbsup:
 
Tough to have this at this time of the year, Omar, but you'll get through it and be much better off! Let us know what you need.
