A TRIP TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM REVEALS THAT YOU HAVE DONE SOME SERIOUS DAMAGE AND NEED SURGERY TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. ... SUDDENLY I FELT SOMETHING GIVE AWAY IN MY KNEE AS A HAD PASSED THE BALL. ... I WAS A LITTLE SCARED TO FINALLY FIND OUT WHAT EXACTLY IT WAS THAT I HAD DONE TO MY KNEE. MY KNEE WOULDN’T BEND FULLY AND IT WAS SWOLLEN. ... FINALLY, IT WAS ULTIMATE THAT I HAD TO HAVE SURGERY. THE DOCTOR TOLD ME THAT I HAD COMPLETELY TORE AWAY ALL OF MY MENISCUS, BUT ON TOP OF THAT I ENTIRELY TORE MY ACL AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO GET SURGERY. ... AS THE DAYS WHEN ON UNTIL THE FINAL DAY UP UNTIL THE SURGERY I WAS SCARED. I JUST SAT AROUND AND THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT COULD POSSIBLY COME OUT OF THIS SURGERY. FINALLY, ABOUT A MONTH AFTER MY LAST DOCTORS VISIT IT WAS TIME FOR MY SURGERY. ON MAY 29, I WOKE UP BRIGHT AND EARLY, ABOUT THE SAME TIME I WOULD IF I WAS GOING TO SCHOOL, BUT THIS DAY, I WASN’T GOING TO SCHOOL, I WAS GOING TO A WORSE PLACE, I WAS GOING TO THE HOSPITAL TO GET MY KNEE SURGERY. ... I WAS ANXIOUS BECAUSE I HAD NEVER GOTTEN SURGERY BEFORE. ... MY KNEE WAS IN A GREAT DEAL OF PAIN. ... THE NEXT STEP IN THE RECOVERY INCLUDED THAT I USED A MACHINE ON MY KNEE TO EXERCISE IT FOR THREE HOURS A DAY FOR AM ENTIRE MONTH. OVER THE FIRST MONTH AFTER SURGERY, I VISITED MY DOCTOR A FEW TIMES FOR HIM TO CHECK MY PROGRESS.
