pursuant to my previous post, and all that talk about medial collateral damage, yada yada...
never mind.
i just got the results of an MRI done last thursday, and i'm pleased to report only an MCL contusion, which is really just a bruise.
the downside is, that's in combination with a torn ACL, a lateral tibial microfracture, and a baker's cyst.
this combination is not so good.
at this point we'll take a short break to drop a couple f-bombs:
fuck.
fucking hell.
we now return you to your regularly scheduled post.
this afternoon i'll get a referral to a sports medicine specialist, which no doubt will lead to a referral to an orthopaedic surgeon.
i don't like the idea of surgery. i like the thought of an unstable knee even less. so if surgery is prescribed, i'll get it done.
in the meantime, i'll continue to do what i can. ride the bike, lift the weights, walk to the farmer's market.
why does it suddenly feel like i'm 70 years old?

update: as it turns out, according to the diagnostic report from the MRI, there's a microfracture in the fibula, as well. to sum up, that's one acl tear, two microfractures, one baker's cyst, and a [f-bomb] partridge in a [f-bomb variation] pear tree.

why yes, its all on the court, but there's something to be said for having enough to take home with you for the next game. I am not one to follow that however as about 6 months ago I turned a bad shin splint into a small stress fracture... Nothing like.. sorry.. nothing we can do other than dont do what you were doing.
thanks for that.
