Hey Pat;

No surgery is fun, but think about how good you are going to be after the surgery.

Good luck

As I tell all of my pt's: "This is gonna hurt you more than it is me" Sorry I couldn't resist. Good luck with the surgery.

I had orthoscopic ACL & MCL surgery back around 1988.

I had a fiberglass cast that went from my toes all the way up to my :eek::eek: for 6 whole weeks.

The rehab physical therapy was I joke. Sit on a table with these stupid little ankle weights and do leg lifts for 20 to 30 minutes. After 2 days of that, I told the therapist to kiss my ass and did the 7 story stairwell in the base hospital for 30 to 45 minutes every day until I was back in shape.

same leg.
