So I destroyed my knee

Recommended Posts

Sand volleyball at flannagans is the devil. I heard it pop and crack about 4 times on the way down. The girl across from me asked if the noise was my keys or my knee. I assured her it was my knee. I was helped up and limped to the bar where I got a shot and a beer. I then came back to watch the rest of the match to be a good sport. I drove my 5 speed from flannagans to Sunbury with the wife in the car. This morning the pain was much worse than when it happened. So, here is kinda the list of my soon bionic knee.

 

Complete tear of ACL, partially torn MCL, severe sprain of LCL, fluid in knee, irregular cartalidge in patella, torn medial meniscus, few other things I still dont understand.

 

So far, Doctor visit, and MRI, go to the ortho tomorrow.

 

I "won't" walk for 6-8 weeks, surgery is next week, I hope. With alot of physical therapy i might be back to normal in 3 to 6 months.

 

Now I cant sleep because it hurts to much.

 

I need an automatic to drive

Damn sucks to hear. At least you get to take it easy for a while. And when they say DONT WALK, DONT WALK. Trust me, i sprained my ankle in rugby practice in high school, they gave me a POS aircast to wear for 2 weeks when I probably should've been off my foot for longer than that. I can still run and play hockey now but it hasn't been the same since.

Yeah the pain sucks. Kirk, I sent you a pm on my doctors. Their is a lady in new orleans says she can fix it with a pint of chicken blood from a rare ethiopian chicken. I leave tomorrow for ethiopia.

Broken bone in my foot during a rugby game, and played another week after that too. Doc told me to stay off it for a couple weeks, I was back at practice in a couple days. I got lucky though, no pain now.

 

Sorry to hear about your knee though, those are terrible injuries.

Tore my ACL 1/24/07 playing basketball.

 

Had ACL surgery 2/26/07 (used a donor patella tendon)

 

I am currently 8 weeks post op. Can walk fine. Started light treadmill running about a week ago. Therapy has been 3x a week since surgery.

I remember damaging mine playing football in h.s. I thought my knee was broken cuz the pain was excruciating. I was on crutches for a long time, then wore a brace similar to an nfl linemans. Never had the surgery, it still feels weird at times when I step on it wrong. Never had any real pain from it though.

Damn, man, that sucks. May I make a few suggestions? (People seem to like a list of 10. ;))

 

1 Hopping

2 Paying a friend for piggy back rides

3 One of those balancey, two wheeled standing ridey things. (They're actually pretty fun.)

4 Learn to float/levitate

5 Buying a flying carpet

6 Lots of swimming

7 Flooding the world (kinda goes with the last one)

8 Learn to roll

9 Become hooked on pain killers

10 Have a "CR Mod Day" at your house. Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world's first drag racing man. Arthur will be that man. Better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster.
