Knee update!

So, I busted my knee a little while ago and thought I'd let ya know what I did to it! I sprained one of my latteral ligaments, fractured the bone, and partially tore my ACL (one of the bits that keeps the knee stable).

I begin physical therapy in May and my Doc assures me that I'll make a full recovery--well, as much as you can recover with a torn ACL. Apparently, that sucker never heals up all the way! I'll have a trick knee (but, it won't be able to make coins disappear!) up until I decide to have surgery on it!

The surgery options are not fun but, I've managed to crack a very good joke about it! One of the options for ACL replacement is an Allograft, which uses the ACL of a cadaver (someone who has passed away). My Doc said that this graft is stronger (almost 150%) than the original ACL--and I said that's because of Zombie power! Hello?! Zombies bust through walls! Imagine what they'll do for your knees!

I'm not saying I'm getting a Zombie knee! I won't know more until after my therapy but, I thought I'd drop ya an update!
