Days fifteen and sixteen


This business of putting little to no weight on my leg is for the birds. I have been reading others' accounts of their acl surgeries and people say how they are walking like a week later! It is frustrating but then I have to remind myself that I had some other issues going on besides a torn acl. Namely a hot mess.  This is what a normal knee cap should look like:
 



Nice and smooth, right??



 Here is what my kneecap looked like when they got in there:




 Nice and furry / spikey.






 So they scraped all that junk off and finally got it to look like this:





Still not super smooth but a lot less like a jellyfish.





And then the holes were drilled. I love those pictures so I'm going to post one again even though I already have.
 Gotta love it. So that's why I'm not walking yet.
