Re-injury Woes: Torn ACL Leads to Surgery Again

[PurpleAngel]

I just got off the phone with my Doctor...

It turns out that I have re-injured my knee. I have torn the ACL this time. That means surgery - AGAIN!! :cry:

Off of work for 12 weeks - nice vacation

That stinks! Well hopefully you can book some catalog shows while your off your feet!

I tore my ACL @ 15 years ago and had to have it replaced - I can definately feel for you! But, I only got 3 weeks off of work. I was on crutches for 6 weeks and in rehab for 8 weeks.

OH - Jessie - as a mom of athletes - I know how hard this is - keep your spirit high - follow instructions - and we will all hope and pray for the best!!

I too need surgery - on my back and neck - just waiting and putting it off...........

Ouch! Both my mom and sister tore their ACLs years ago, and have the titanium pins in there to prove it. They have successfully rehabbed their knees and are glad they did it, but they can now predict the weather with uncanny perfection! Good luck to you and I hope your recovery is quick!

My husband tore his ACL during a skateboarding competition. He still skates and says that his knee with surgery is his good knee. So you may be better off in the end!!!
