Went to the Orthopedist today....

[jenscats5]

MRI at 11:00 am tomorrow.....wants to see how much of my ACL I have left as opposed to labelling it as a "Grade 3 tear."

Got a scrip for some pain meds - 1 I never heard of (for day) and some Percosets...

Was told NOT to prop my leg up under my knee with a pillow....need to work on being able to straighten it....

They took some more Xrays....

Need to schedule some PT, ACL screening & brace fitting at the Univ. of DE....goal is to obtain full extension prior to surgery....

Surgery most likely at end of Feb or the beginning of March....and the recovery is a 6 month process - so looking for sure NO shows this year....

Wow, 6 months ontop of the time waiting to have surgery? That will majorily suck Jen.

You've convinced me thru example to be more cautious though, so feel good in that aspect. I will no longer try to knock over skiers as I wisk by on my board.

lookin at surgery and not even sure you need it? Well, best of luck for a quick recovery. You will be back on the leg machines in about a month after so not all bad. PT is extention and bending.
