Amber's knee surgery

by Amber Sitton

Hey every one! At the age of 19 I tore the ACL in my left leg during a college soccer game. I was devistated that this happend to me. I had surgery 10 days after the accident. The hardest part to me was the recovery. After surgery was great having everyone wait on me! haha! and the little cooler thing that went around my knee was amazing. The only bad news is I stared having a lot of pain in my opposite leg after surgery so I went back to my doctor, had an MRI and found our that I had torn my ACL and meniscus sometime, I dont know when or how long it has been torn. I am so discouraged. I havent sceduled the surgery yet... but I need to get it over with. If anyone wants to talk about my surgery or experience feel free to email me at wbabygurl37@aol.com it is hard getting over the initial hump of "Oh my goodness I have to have surgery again..." It's a little discouraging :0(
