Originally, the surgeon told me that I would be in pain, but compared it with "a little worse than when I actually tore the ACL and walked on it without crutches..." That was at the Soiree in Phoenix. It hurt bad and I should have been on crutches, but I made it without them.
However, when he went in, he found that the Meniscus was also messed up, causing the surgery to extend beyond the predicted 1:30 (hours) to 2:30. They also, of course, rebuilt the ACL using my hamstring. I am getting a lot of pain in there as well due to the fact that they tied it back up.
I am laid up and I can't move or sleep. The vicodin is pretty much useless to be honest. I go back in tomorrow and they are supposed to flex the knee and drain the fluids with a needle, I am confident that this will help.
However at this moment, I can honestly say that this is some of the worst pain I have ever had. I can't move for the most part, I need ropes just to pull the leg up to elevation status. They delivered me an ice machine, I am currently attached to it.
However, let it be known, I intend to put up big numbers at next year's Phoenix Forum basketball game.
I am already planning what I shall add to my arsenal.
Thanks to those of you that helped me out in Phoenix this year. I look forward to getting recovered and seeing everyone again.
