Checkout this picture of my new ACL, the silver rope like thing is some poor dead guy's ACL sitting where mine used to be :)

I had to be at the Surgery Center at 11:30 for a 1:30 surgery time. Mom drove my stickshift car which was a little bit exciting. I was fairly nervous for some reason, I wasn't nervous about my other surgeries.

We saw about 8 doctors or soon to be doctors including nurses, anesthesiologists, surgeons, orthopedic specialists, etc. I felt kind of bad since my surgery was somewhat elective and it looked like there were people there who had critical life threatening conditions.

Anyway it is over now and my knee is swollen with bandages and a brace around it. I am supposed to excersize it while lying down and keeping my foot on the floor 4 times a day. But I have some vicodin to help, which I haven't really needed yet.

You have parts in you from dead people. :) Hope you're feeling great, and have a good/speedy recovery. Did your mom rig up some lasagne or something yummy? <3
