I went to the doctor for my followup about 2 weeks ago. His review of my MRI concluded what we have come to before, my ACL is torn. Positives? Well, he said I had the best tear you could have. An acute ACL tear with no additional damage to the surrounding area. I do have a small tear in my meniscus, but it didn't seem to concern him any.
I wanted to get the surgery done ASAP, but with all of the activities coming up (Ed's wedding and the DisneyWorld trip) we figured it would be best to hold of the surgery for a time where I could properly rehab without extraneous activities. So, I got a scrip for a brace (I am gonna go for a custom one) and will be heading in for surgery on March 21.
In the meantime, my knee feels pretty good, with the exception of having a bit of instability. I was able to enjoy some volleyball during Ed's bachelor party, but I restricted my playing making sure I didn't jump any. I experienced some swelling, but that quickly subsided. Now if I can get my fat ass to exercise some...
