You ARE under a lot of stress... You are about to have a major knee surgery, and have absolutely no idea of what exactly to expect - no matter how much you read, how many people you talk to, or how much everyone tells you its going to be ok, you still don't know what it is going to be like...I would be anxious as well. Not to get all touchy feely on you, but I would highly recommend talking to someone who is a good listener - tell them about everything you are worried about, what scares you, what you are afraid of. They don't have to have any answers, or any immediate solutions - they don't even have to talk at all - but to just be able to release some of those thoughts, those fears...that will help to calm you a little bit. And if they do know anything about ACL reconstructions, all the better - then maybe they can put your mind at ease. I haven't had the surgery myself, but I have seen hundreds of people who have - and every single one deals with the whole process differently. Some get angry, some get depressed...others are excited and invigorated because they know it will make them better. Hang in there and try not to worry too much - in a day or two, once you have had the surgery, then you won't have as much to worry about. It gets easier once it is done because then you can actually work to make yourself better, rather than just waiting for the surgery day to come. Keep us posted on how you progress - and feel free to "talk" on here - I am always around to listen. Bart
