If you're faint hearted don't look at this. It's not really bloody but it sort of does look sick. Sick as in gross not cool. The writing on my knee is the doctor's name.
So did you get your brace for it yet?
Lol you made 3 threads about this. over intercom *we need clean up in General Stuff*
Looks yummy
So how many months of rehabilitation?
lol I kept clicking preview and then something happened. I'll be out for a year.
<span style="color:red">OUCH</span> wow that looks like it might sting a little. is your doctors name 241?
lol No, his name is John Henry. The 241 is actually the initials.
I was running in gym class back in January. I happened to twist somehow when I was running. Went to the ER and they said I sprained it. Went back to gym a week later. Was running again 2 months after the first incident. Went to my family doctor this time. He said I possibly sprained it. Kept bugging me so I went to a specialist. They made me get an MRI. Found out I tore my ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) and did some damage to my cartlidge. So I had surgery on the knee Wednesday the 16th of June. They took my hamstring (part of it) and grafted that to be my new ACL. Then they screwed that into my bone. Then they scraped my cartlidge.
Supremely fascinating =) Thanks for the pic and explanation on what happened. Educational.
Torn ACL's are a ***I'm Stupid for Swearing*** to recover from. Usually the treatment isn't that great either..., as in easy to tear again.

I remember you had problems with your knee some days ago..:o
I guess you want to go to the doctor now you saw that:P
lol Battle scar sounds good, but it wasn't for anything major. It was gym class. Given, it was the championship game for Hand Ball. But that's about it.
I give credit where credit is due, and this championship game just increses the credit, so thats a full blown battle scar.
