Our 19-year-old son, who injured his knee last week playing intramural flag football at college, got the results of his MRI today. He tore not only his ACL, but also both cartilages in his knee! I just cried and cried when my husband called me from the doctor's office.
So he is withdrawing from the university, coming home to have surgery, and will have months of rehabilation, including lots of physical therapy. His goal is to be able to run and play golf again in the spring.
My left foot---operated on 2 weeks ago---has got to heal fast so I can take care of him and drive him back and forth to the doctor/physical therapy. I can't believe I'm still in a cast and housebound----and now we're going to have to deal with this!!!!
Will my life ever be normal again? What is "normal"? I don't remember! I wanna go to Target, have a glass of wine, go to my mailbox.
I'm making progress----I now can put my pants on over my cast, all by myself! The things you take for granted until you can't do them anymore!
I WILL NEVER EVER TAKE HEALTH FOR GRANTED ANYMORE, that's for sure.
