Well who knew that a tennis injury could actually be a completely torn ACL. After being mislead by the PA in the ER that I most likely just had a sprain I was hopeful that I would be walking around and back to my normal level of activity in no time. However, after coming home to Lexington, we were surprised to hear that I actually completely torn my ACL and I am going to have ACL recontructive surgury tomorrow morning with a 6 month period of restrictive motion. Recovery is going to take a while, but most importantly I will be most of the way through rehabilitation before medical school starts. However, with graduation less than 2 months away finishing this semester is going to be difficult. And I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little sad that I am missing out on my last two months in Charleston and my last semester. Besides that fact that I will not be able to wear heels to formal, graduation or my best friends wedding or be able to dance, I am handling this well. One day at a time is all that I can say about recovery. With surgery tomorrow I am a little anxious. Everyone keeps reminding me that everything will turn out ok and I hope it does. I just want to be back to me, back to running and skating and dancing and playing tennis with my man. All of this has been good for our relationship. It has shown me just how much he loves me and how much I need him. He took wonderful care of me when I was with him and now I need him more than ever.
