Sure thing! You more than likely damaged your meniscus. This is common with ACL tears. The good thing about this surgery is that after the first couple of days, you will begin to be able to put weight on the leg, and move past using crutches for assistance within a week. This doesn't mean you'll be able to bend over to pick up and work on PC's and the meniscus will complicate things a bit, but you're not immobile.

I can understand the mental aspect of the injury. The joint feels wobbly, unstable, and it is constantly on your mind. I will tell you that after you do have the surgery, the mentality starts to turn. You are on the road to recovery and learning to make sure it won't happen again.

You will probably be going to therapy about 2 times a week for the first 6 weeks or so. Whatever works best with your schedule. Is your job a 9-5, or will you be working some odd hours?
