re: ACL/MCL repair with knee fracture — anyone had this?

I had a fracture + dislocation with a partially torn ACL. Left leg so driving wasn’t an issue as long as you can fit in your car with the brace on. After the first few days I could get around on crutches fine without pain. Still hurts to kneel years later.

Yeah he enjoys that side gig but will be doing it from a seated position for a while. Told him he needs to find a ride there and back lol as I typically don’t go. This empty nest thing has us both just doing our thing; I’m just glad that my job is flexible so that I can do whatever is needed.

Think we’ll try Precision here in A town. Can’t get to lft as often as he’ll need. WorkI will be his biggest issue — again, glad he’s got good guys working for/with him.

The surgeon babied my rehab too; he removed about 2/3s of my medial meniscus. I started putting and hitting 1/2 wedges after 2 weeks tho.

I had a bucket handle tear, so they flipped it back around and stitched it back together inside the knee, while also screwing in a cadaver ACL. She probably wanted me off the knee longer but I was getting too restless.

The lead therapist who opened the clinic we know personally — his mom babysat two of our kids.

And I’m here to tell you empty next freaking sucks for me — D doesn’t care either way. It’s a momma thing?

Yo... You drunk? I think a week long Bender would help get your mind right.

The return trip from Oxford was brutal for me. We were in separate vehicles so I obviously had to drive. Tears fell often and eventually slowed down but I dread when she leaves to go back in about 10 days or so.

Her sorority father/dtr weekend is in late March — hopefully he’ll be good by then to go. And her birthday is Valentine’s Day so I may make a trip up there just depending around that time.

That said, she’s doing fantastic as I’m sure yours is (where is he?). Staying here or even BR would have held her back — she’s absolutely thriving and loving school and life.

Achilles repair here. The hardest thing for him for the first couple weeks will be showering and getting the leg wrapped/unwrapped. He'll need help with that and a shower seat.

I can't speak to the specifics of his recovery. I just know it took me a few weeks before I didn't have any pain just sitting there.

Agree......staying here would have only held them back. They are out of state...far far away, but were home for the holidays, so mother hen was happy.

Several kids from here are in Oxford now, and they probably all know each other. Word is they all love it there.

Doing great. Feel like trying to put a whooping on 2020.

It was a good year for App. We choked in the one game but oh well. I think we return about 14 or 15 starters...

Prayers. It is not easy. Physical therapy and following instructions will be key. I had my ACL/ MCL and a fracture myself about 20 years ago. Techniques are far better today. Just have to be patient and do the work.
