My son tore his ACL…

the night went pretty good. Wife woke him up every 2 hours for meds. New issue facing us today is he will need help changing his underwear.

First PT appointment is tomorrow already. I am so thankful he got clearance to put weight on it. That would be so hard if he couldn't.

Put a chair blockade around him last night so the dog couldn't get to him. She even picked up her toy to bring it to him. It was pretty cute.

Had mine done two years ago after I was an idiot and had to prove to the oldest daughter I could still dunk. Surgery was done just before Christmas. Had my ACL and meniscus repaired. The meniscus part is what screwed me because I couldn’t put weight on that leg for a month. My suggestion is for him to do as much physical therapy as possible. Do not cut it short. I’m double his age but was fully cleared to return to sports “still reliving my glory days” by September that year. I could have been done with physical therapy by July but I wanted to get back to being able to play basketball and my work schedule was good so I did the extra physical therapy till September. I was packing elk the first of November. But I didn’t fully trust my knee until the following year. The part that slowed me down the most I think is I tore it in October and didn’t have surgery till December. When my leg swelled up from the initial tear it put a bend in my leg. So for two months my leg was slightly bent. Took forever during physical therapy to get my hamstrings stretched back out

Yeah, but did you stick the dunk?

Yeah, but did you stick the dunk?

I told her I hope she seen that because she was never seeing that shit again. That was the moment I realized I was no longer bulletproof
