 I'm just getting home from my ACL repair surgery. I got a nice little brace on my leg, a little connector for the ice machine. Okay, go inside, my wife is taking awesome care of me. Just drove me home and she's clearing the pathway, getting all my kids toys out of the way so I can get in the door with my walker back here. So, pain meds are still doing good. I'm not in pain, my leg is completely numb, but looking forward to finally getting this done. It took three months almost before insurance got approved and got the surgery scheduled, so I'm glad it's done. Just over a week since my surgery, I'm down to only using one crutch, which is nice. Gives me the hand to do stuff with. And two more days and hopefully I'll get my stitches out. If you're wondering what this hose is, it goes to that little water pump down there that has ice in it. I had to pay 150 bucks for that, but it's well worth it. It just constantly ices my legs, so I don't have to use ice packs and constantly switch them out. So, pretty much been laying here for a week, hooked up to this machine. Gone a little stir crazy, but I am getting a little more mobile. And so I'm at least really able to get around the house a little bit better now. Had my post op today, got my stitches out. That was nice. Hopefully another day or so and I'll be off the crutches. You know, when I was a kid, I wanted to be the punisher when I grew up. And I want to make some sort of joke about ending up being payback instead, but I don't think anybody would get that joke. Today is six weeks since my surgery. And I was told yesterday, I no longer need to wear my brace after today or starting today. That's nice. So yeah, it's been six weeks today since my surgery. For those of you, if I had mentioned, so I tore my ACL. So what they had to do was they took part of my hamstring and then drilled through my knee and replaced my ligament with part of my hamstring. Apparently you have accessory hamstrings that you don't need. And I asked about the hamstring thing, like, will my hamstrings be weak? Oh, they're actually like, oh, you'll be sore for a couple of days. What, six weeks later? My hamstring's still pretty tight and sore, but things are going good. Unfortunately, it's still another best case scenario. It's still gonna be about three months before I get back to work full-time. So, but things are going good. Improvements every day. And yeah, I turn, I just say it was my birthday, I turned 38, so I got my brace off and that's like at birthday present. Yay! Nothing like feeling old, you know, by having a surgery like this. I actually watched a video yesterday on a bunch of Jackie Chan's injuries and he's 64 now. And watching the videos of him getting hurt makes me feel better about my injury, but I wonder how he feels at 64 with all the injuries he's had over the years. Does he just hurt all the time? Or has he healed well? I'm assuming he probably has some aches and pains every day.
