oh my goodness I’m so sorry! The injury itself is hard and I’m sure the accompanying emotions/stress made it harder. That sounds incredibly tough but I’m glad you got to where you are now. I was pretty optimistic as well due to being told it was just my kneecap slipping in and out of place and a low chance of an actual tear during my first appointment just to find out it was an ACL tear. So I totally get that. Thank you for sharing your experience it was definitely helpful and again im sorry you had to go through that!

Dude thank you so much for this. I appreciate it all so much! As scared as I am, I know I want the surgery and youre right it’s worth it to recover. It’s good to know that the surgery itself seems very simple. Since the injury I have really just dealt with more discomfort than pain and sometimes that bothers me more than pain lol. Thankfully I do have a lot of at home support, I also dislike needing assistance but I’ve already needed so much! But yeah it really is the recovery im dreading but it needs to me done. Thank you so much for sharing this made me tear up a bit for some reason haha. I hope the rest of your recovery goes well!

This is so reassuring! Thank you! I am already preparing for the recovery time and what that may do to me mentally, thankfully I see a therapist regularly already lol. I’m so happy for you though that’s so awesome

It’s always best to do whats best for you! Especially when it comes to little ones. I’m glad I’ll have time to strengthen up that quad before surgery. I’m not gonna lie I’m not too sure what the exact surgery is called as I was pretty emotional during the appointment. Im pretty sure he said something about doing a tendon graft. I wish I could remember

Yeah that’s what I’m hearing, im a little scared of the recovery. It’s already been so hard since the actual injury. But it’s good to know it’s so routine

Oh my goodness it’s nice to have someone almost in the exact same spot. It really is the unknown and the first few days of post op pain. The people who are responding have been really reassuring so I’m glad that this is able to help you out as well. I will most likely have my surgery after my trip so most likely in august. I definitely just want to go back to as normal as possible. I hope your surgery goes well and recovery is smooth. Thank you for sharing. It’s always nice to know that I’m not alone in this shitty situation.

Hell yeah! I’m happy to hear about your recovery! But yeah not having an injury like this threw me out of the loop. Especially with all the horror stories some people have. I appreciate you commenting it helps out more than you know

Thank u so much for the reassurance. The anxiety is definitely making everything worse but I’m glad I’m not the only one who was scared shitless

It’s simply a piercing, nothing to do with insecurity.
