Yep, that’s a knee, not mine, but a picture to show you what happened and why I haven’t been around posting for the last couple of weeks. You can see by the image the two menisci in the knee and in the middle (unlabeled) the cruciate ligaments – anterior and posterior.
I tore my anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and both my medial and lateral menisci about 8 weeks ago playing indoor soccer. Kia and the kids were at the game (the first time in about a year) and she was very unimpressed with my writhing on the ground thinking, and I quote, “you were trying to get a call” from the referee.
I had the surgery on Monday 8/20 and have been recovering the last 
couple of weeks. It has been less constant pain the past few days, but you never know where or when the pain will be. I am confined to crutches for the next 2&1/2 weeks, but should be back to normal soon.
Pain like this absolutely makes you glad to be healthy. It makes you thankful for the blessings in your life.
