your anatomy lesson for today....


....of the knee anyways.


OldestA tore the ACL, she tore the meniscus, and sprained the MCL.

NICE huh? When she does something, she does it 100%, I'll give her that! We took her for the MRI last evening and then took the disc to her Dr for the verdict today. And that was that!

So, it'll be physical therapy to get the fluid and swelling down enough for surgery. The Drs are going to try and fast-track the surgery date so that she can start healing. Normal recovery time from this repair/reconstruction is 9 months. Varsity basketball starts in about 6....so cross your fingers! oh, and think happy thoughts!

So that's my lesson for today. Off to YoungestA's baseball game....hopefully will be back later.

That is crazy. She does do everything to the full extent though!!! You know I am routing for a quick recovery. Let us know when dates are figured out and all of that...
