Well here at home there's not a whole lot happening so there's not a whole lot to report on. Lots of catching up on TV, movies, new music. You'd be surprised how much of the world you can miss in only 6 months. Anyway, time for the big news of the week...
We got to meet with the doctor this week and got the results back from my MRI, unfortunately we actually got worse news than expected. I have torn not only my meniscus, but I have re-torn my ACL also. So yes, two things completely torn. For those of you that don't know, I tore my ACL about 4 years ago during football season and had it replaced and reconstructed. I've had problems with my knee ever since then so I guess this little soccer accident just finished the job. To perform this somewhat complicated surgery, my doctor said that he would like to recruit another pair of skilled hands, so he needs to coordinate his schedule with another surgeon before we set a date for the operation. We hope to hear back from him today. What he told us about the recovery was that it was going to be 3 months MINIMUM before I was up and walking without crutches. So considering that minimum time frame plus time for physical therapy and being 100% cleared for full activity once again, I'm expecting about 4 or 5 months before I'm back out in the field.
Of course this was hard to hear but I have been getting so much support and advice from so many different people. I'm so grateful for all of you and all of your love. Please keep your heads up this week and don't let the stupid things get you down. Remember who you belong to and who is there to help you.
Keep On Keepin' On...
