Good appt with the surgeon! Didn't get everything I wanted, but I felt like he listened to me.

Surgeon's verdict....will be having my knee scoped in a couple of weeks, as soon as they can work me in. Once they're inside they'll see what they can do about the meniscus and take a look at the stability of the knee. From there they will decide whether or not they will do the reconstruction of the ACL. I really wish I would know ahead of time, but I have to trust that he will do what's best for me. I've made my intentions clear. I want it FIXED! I don't want this to continue to hold me back.

Oh, by the way....my ACL has been blown since HS. No wonder I've been cautious with it and backed off from physical exercise! I think subconsciously I knew something wasn't right.

So here's to getting this fixed so I can move forward in a whole new way!

Hope you all are having a great Tuesday!

WOW...never had ACL injury myself but from what I've heard about them in sports they are awful. I saw a show about the reconstructive surgery that was fascinating...that is amazing you've been out here walking around with that injury since hs! But the cool thing is that you're right, once it's all fixed you'll be able to approach your exercise in a whole new way. I think it'll be wonderful! Thanks for the update, keep your head up lady! ;)

Thanks! I guess it's just proof that your body adapts to protect itself...sometimes in ways we don't even realize. How's your hubby coming getting ready for his surgery?
