I to put this off for along time. The first injury was over 4 yrs ago and was told by my ortho if I did not lose 100 pounds he would never repair it. So he is the one that got me mad enough to finally take charge of my weight problem and get wls. Fast forward to Feb of this year I was loading up my PA equipment slipped on the ice during a snowstorm and had 2 45 pound speakers fall on my knee snapping it ever so nicely and causing a second major tear this time to the PCL as the ACL was already gone. This time I had no choice it was more then time to get it fixed.
I'm doing pretty good however concidering the pain medication foul up and have already gotten to a 35 degree flex which is great I'm working towards the 90 I need in order to drive again by myself. But it will be a slow go.
Don't live in pain as long as I did you just do alot more damage an the healing time can take much longer. Besides summer is coming and boy am I going to be in the middle of it this year. If all goes well I will enjoy more outdoor time then the last few get more walking in then I have in age's and yes never thought I'd say that but I miss going for my evening walks.
Have a great day an thanks for the well wishes.

Good Morning!! Enjoy your last few days of work Shannon. It looks like everyone has someone at the U. My niece is in getting her knee fixed again. She can't put any pressure on it for at least 3 months, it's a big deal. She was a bit grumpy going in, knowing that the weather is getting nicer and she will be laid up for a while. Well to everyone... Have a Great Day!!!!
