    Verdict is in:

    Completely torn ACL, partially torn MCL. Fuck!



    Spoke to a guy who has High Level D1 scholarship athlete kids, one just had an ACL reconstruct.... He did all the research and said that the Cadaver was the worst option.

    Shit. Sorry to hear that. When are you having the surgery?

    I had the patellar tendon graft when I had mine back in 2000. It feels great. The only time it ever really bothers me is when I am kneeling down. Just can't get comfortable.

    Im leaning toward the patellar tendon myself


    I dunno when the surgery is, I have a consultation coming up. I think I may want to switch Orthopedists though. Im not sure how to do that.


    I think I am going to ratchet down baseball and play more hockey. Been getting killed with injuries the past few years in baseball, and it was just a matter of time before 'the big one'.

    Good luck to you. I'm sure the surgery is so much better now than it was when I had it. I have a gigantic scar on my knee...like 5 inches. My doctor was a butcher.
