A Symmetry of Sorts (just my luck)

number 2.
well, this is slightly unfortunate.






















No MRI yet but Dr. Allen (recommended by a Fury with two bionic knees) is pretty confident my ACL in my left (ie, the knee formerly known as "the good one") is completely non-existent. i asked for surgery tomorrow, but apparently that's pushing it. swelling has gone down a lot, though. i can even do squats, and i have almost full range of motion. i might not even need pre-op PT .... most likely scheduling surgery for the week of May 5.



ACL's and women: how crazy is it that, phsyiologically, women are so much more at risk for knee injury? you never hear about guys tearing their ACL's while cutting or landing - it's usually due to a tackle or direct hit. not gonna lie, im a little jealous right now.
