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...

https://www.hayabusa.org/forum/random-thoughts/86746-update-omar-s-day-playing-soccer.html

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:

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.

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.
