did anyone realize that he hurt is right kneecap not his left??

I just fractured my patella last Fri, its not fun. Had surgery monday, its back together but its definately still painful. Im not even allowed to go to therapy until the 29th and even then its going to be going real slow. I had major surgery in Oct on the same knee so they want to make sure nothing else happens. Two major knee surgeries on the same knee within three months is about to drive me nuts. Ill get throgh it with the Lords grace.

i also fractured my patella a month ago,now im under therapy...can't imagine the pain the moment my patella fractured it's really hell!

[ThatOneEmoKidd]

Damn the same thing happened to me I was going up for a layup when it happened to me. Im still doing therapy this shit isnt anything to mess around with.

Mine made a crater too when it broke from accident on sidewalk, but didn't separate as much as his. I bet my face looked like his (in agony).

[sabasc3]

Hey ThatOneEmoKidd,

I hope your recovery is going ok. Can you walk without support/brace yet?

I'm one month and a week past my accident. I don't expect to be able to drive until 2010.

[LimeCrazy6]

It's his right knee.

[largec]

OUCH!!!!!

[sportsfan913]

i think in a wierd way if KU needed any more motivation this gave it to them

[rockchalkchampions15]

its so sad to see him get hurt since hes a senior but at least his teammates cared a whole lot about him.

[bobolob]

And they were chanting his name at the end of the UNC game.

[jayhawksrock1]

I saw him at the barnstorming here in kansas. He was sitting on the bench and since KU is the next globtrotters when they are here, lol, sasha was shooting a free throw and gave it to rod on the bench clear on the sideline about a couple feet back from the top of the key was where he was sitting, with one leg on the chair (and he had been practicing shooting it during warm up cause he was bored) and shot it and swished it! The crowd went wild,and Darnell drained a Half court shot!it was so cool!

[bobolob]

When was this?

[jayhawksrock1]

Saturday May 3rd in Hutch Kansas

[bobolob]

Fun times. Did he have any type of cast on his knee?

[jayhawksrock1]

no, i don't think so, he was wearing his warm up pants so I couldn't really tell but I got his autograph and there wasn't any type of brace on it. He just had it stretched out. Lol and russel had his shoes off. but yeah it was really fun, stood in line for 2 hours before the door opened.

[bobolob]

Certain things are worth waiting for, it's just a shame Rod wasn't able to play in the Final 4 but you can definitely say that it added incentive for the rest of the team.

[pjhawx]

dude i was at that same barnstorming event in the Hutch Arena..where are you from?

[jayhawksrock1]

I'm from Hutch, go there every time they have one!

[cpayne2180]
