Bridge (ACL) – The verdict…
This is what I found out from the MRI:
Bruised bone, possible Meniscus damage (inconclusive from MRI), and severed ACL.
Yeah, totally tore my ACL.
They have scheduled me for surgery on May 19th. I had decided to wait because of a wedding I needed to photograph. I kind of need to walk for those.
I was also given a locking brace that goes from my ankle to my upper thigh. You usually get at the time of surgery, but I got it early so I won’t cause more damage to my knee.
***Note***
I am posting my ACL story after the fact. I decided to do it to help anyone who goes through the same thing as me. I’ll let you know when I am up to date. In reality I am currently 3 weeks post op and doing well.The Uninvited movie download
Stumble it!
I am glad that you are writing about your experiences that you have gone through with your surgery. It will definitely help others that find themselves in the same situation. I am glad that you are doing well now (well, well all things considered.)
Having had 3 reconstructive knee surgeries…I so know your pain (or is that healing process). The ACL in my knee is not my own.
I’m hoping you’re doing alright lady!!
Hugs!!
