Knee Update
Well, it's official... I'm going under the knife. As the religious followers of this blog know, my ACL and medial meniscus are both torn. The ACL is completely torn, but the meniscus is just a partial tear. So two weeks and two days from now, they're going to go into my knee and repair the meniscus and replace my ACL with a piece of my patellar tendon. A full recovery will take 6 months. This has really cut into my social life, but I'm really glad that I'm getting this fixed. My dad is going to fly out here for the week and keep me in line, which I really appreciate. Wish me luck! Oh, and I found out that my doctor is the team doctor for a little football team out here called the Denver Broncos. YES!

It sounds like you'll be in good hands if this doctor works on pro athletes! It's too bad you have to have surgery though :( Good thing you hiked this summer! Let us know how your recovery is going.
Good luck with the surgery! Do you know which graft you are going with yet?
