heeyy im juan and i am 15 years old and this very day i had my surgery done... i tore my ACL and ruptured my meniscus. I actually tore it in the summer of 2010 at a flag football game. I made a very high jump and came down hyper extending it. so i sat out that day and iced that night.. of course i didn't know what i had done to it... so the next day i went and played again and made a cut to the side and my knee made me collapse and i was in pain so i sat out 4 about 10 mins icing but of course this was a tournament and well lets jus say im veerryyy competitive so i went back in and was running and the guy was in front of me and my first reaction was to pull back and go around and well i pulled back and pop didn't get ta go around! :/ i still didn't know what was wrong. 2 weeks later and i was running... and a month and a half went by and i was able ta play but i had already made a visit to get an MRI and the news came in and i cried.. and just kept asking god how and why this had happened to me??.. i was very upset... well basketball season was getting near and i was shooting with the off season basketball and started playing with a brace because i had no pain.. doctors said it was amazing and indifferent that i didn't have any pain so i played 4 about 2 weeks without the doctors permission and bad idea! he said i would be able to play but my meniscus was also ruptured so i had to stop but i still didn't think anything about playing so i would play pickup games every once in a while.. well 2day came about my surgeon had already told me he would donate the surgery so i got my surgery this morning and was not too nervous cause i knew god was with me.. god is amazing and can do anything he wants ta do.. after my surgery i got up with no pain once again thank god and now I'm home laying down with my leg elevated and don't feel anything but some throbbing.. through all of this god has changed my life drastically!! i see now why this happened to me:) and im very thankful!!! if u don't know god well let me tell you hes the one that made all and everything possible and has created every1 and every thing!
