HEMIII's blog: "My torn ACL~;(>"

I was playing paintball last week and hyperextended my knee, holy shit it was painful. I went to the doctor the next day and they sent me to get an MRI. Today (a week later) they finally let me know what is wrong. I tore my ACL which is pionted out here. So now I have to let it heal for three weeks and then I guess they are going to do reconstruction with a graft from another tendon, they basically drill a tunnel through my bones and slide it up in there. Then they bolt it in place, yep sounds like fun, right~;)> Can't wait~;)> Then I need to keep it clean and go through alot of phisical therapy. Hopefully I won't need a brace everytime I paintball, but maybe it would be a good idea to have one. They're like what those front linemen in college football wear on there knees with the metal hinges. I like this one. Well, wish me luck.
