Well I have to arrive at the hospital tomorrow morning at 5:30 am for an ACL reconstruction and cartilage repair so everyone wish me luck and any pointer you can give me please feel free..
ummm, think happy thoughts! the best thing about surgery is that things can only get better after it's done. you'll finally get to start recovering properly! you'll be fine. no need to stress at all. good luck!
surgery went great. they did a patella acl reconstruction and repaired my medial and lateral meniscus. they were concerned that they were going to have to do a second surgery later on to repair some articular cartilage. They found out once the doc got in there that the cartilage was fusing itself back together so no more surgery. Dan was the hamstring pretty sore after surgery.
I had the patella acl reconstruction too. YES! Very sore after surgery. Do you have a range of motion machine & an ice machine? They were my best buddies while recovering. Them and Mr. Hydro Codone.
