ACL Knee Surgery


ACL Knee Surgery

November 29th, 2006 by Karen Gore


Looks like I am heading for another big challenge in my life, I am having knee surgery on Monday (December 4th). I tore my ACL a couple of years ago and have never done anything about it till now.

I am nervous and scared, however the funny thing is that I am more scared about gaining weight then I am about the actual surgery. Just the other day I was talking to a good friend telling her I was more nervous about having a root canal than major knee surgery. I am so scared of the dentist (I think they are evil ;-) ). It’s an old story, I had a bad experience with a dentist once and that scarred me for life. However I have discovered that nitrous is a good thing :-).

But anyway, the knee surgery is supposed to be bigger than what I originally thought. I told the doctor that I had 2 c-sections and recovered very well from them and I wasn’t worried.  My doctor said this surgery is going to be a lot harder of a recovery.  I asked the doctor when I will be able to get back in the gym.  My doctor informed me that I will be seeing a physical therapist shortly after my surgery and they will work with me on my recovery. So I will keep you updated as I can through all of this.
