Yesterday was the big day. We got to the hospital around 9:45 to get checked in. Sometime around 10:30 they called me back and started up on the iv's. They put in a nerve blocker in my thigh to help dull the pain during recovery. April said I slept a lot, then they finally brought me back into the OR. I remember getting on the table, putting on the oxygen mask and the Dr. telling me that i'd feel a slight "stinging" sensation in my arm from the anesthesia medicine. Next thing I know, i'm getting dressed to go home!
The pain has been pretty dull, however I definitely know it's there! I've been resting a lot between yesterday and today since rehab starts tomorrow!
I'm going to try and scan the pics the doc gave me, but essentially I completely tore my acl, had a partial tear of the MCL and tore the medial and lateral meniscus. They used portions of my tendon and bone to repair the acl and put an anchor in to repair my meniscus.
ok...back to bed. I'm tired!
