Bend the knee

It may seem like a quite simple task but relearning to walk not so simple. This weeks goal is to be walking by Saturday, although technically i am suppose to be crutches for at least another two weeks. Im going to do it in one. just you see.
Also halloween has to be one of the best holidays. I watched a full episode of goosebumps the other night and loved it. Life is good when you can find old school goosebumps episodes

Riding a bike

I semi rode a bike today. I would have to say it was rather difficult. Physical Therapy is pretty rough and i find myself having to take my ipod to get through the hard parts. Some day soon ill post a play list for your enjoyment.
I watched The Killers yesterday not the band but the 1946 version based on two of Ernest Hemingway's short stories. It was your typical old school gangster film that was so awesome I now am seeking it out to own for my personal collection.

Stitches

My stitches came out today! I am excited because that entire part of my leg is really gross and it can finally breathe and be slightly normal now. PT is going well I can officially bend my knee about 50 degrees which may seem like no big deal but it really is. I am semi walking now...that means I still am using crutches. I hope in the next two weeks that I will be able to rely on just myself in regards to walking as opposed to crutches. Nothing really huge to report other than I am getting my copy of the 1931 Dr Jeckyll and Mr Hyde dvd which is exciting, yes i do realize how big of a geek I am for enjoying silly movies like that. Also Rear Window, not the Johnny Depp one is also on its way. I am way excited it seems lately that I have a thing for the old school films. I guess when you get tired of the typical main stream media movies when your stuck in bed all day you dabble back in time to find the classics and the not so classic movies.

pictures!

Here are pictures of an ACL surgery not mine but the procedure.

It all started on August 11

More than a month ago I tore my ACL doing one of my favorite leisure activities. Now a month later i have had in exact medical terms Knee Anthroscopy and Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Hamstring. Its this surgery where they take part of your hamstring and repair your torn ACL with it, it's a lot better than the alternative which is taking a piece of a cadaver and repairing it. So now that that's done the long journey of it getting repaired and physical therapy. Ill put pictures and what not up so for those of you who actually enjoy things like bones and ligaments will actually be able to see and wrap your head around.
The saddest part about this all is that I can't play sports for 6 months. So no longboarding, volleyball, football, snowboarding and all the other sports I love. Jealous yet? Didn't think so.
