Hey everybody. Just wanted to give you a status update. The trip home was long but I arrived in snowy and frozen Boston without any issues. It was great to finally see my parents again and make it back up to New Hampshire even if it is much earlier than I would like.
I have some news from Monday morning's MRI. I've done some extensive damage to my knee which I will go into a bit of detail here. As was expected, my ACL is completely torn. Other injuries include strains to my ...LCL, MCL and PCL ligaments, both menisci have been torn, and a chunk of cartilage has broken off and taken with it a small piece of femur bone.
Dr. Chen will perform surgery this coming Monday to fix all of these injuries. I will be unable to do any weight bearing activities for the first six weeks after surgery, so I will be constrained to crutches for that period of time. An extensive rehabilitation period of physical therapy will follow. My doctors and physical therapist expect me to be able to take my first jumps six to nine months from the date of surgery.
Thanks for all of the support throughout this winter season... through the good and bad days. See you guys again soon.
