As promised, this is my blog about what actually happened to me on this wonderful adventure. After the results of my MRI and the visit to my lovely orthopedic surgeon today, the verdict is....
1. Torn ACL
2. Partially torn MCL
3. Sprained LCL
4. Meniscus
This means that Megan was the closest in diagnosing the meniscus and ligament combo..Everyone was correct in assuming the MCL was more severely injured rather than the LCL due to MOI..and not even the ER doctor found an ACL component!!..the ortho nicely explained that this is because it was not checked bilaterally (note to self lol)
However all is well that ends well..he's making me get full ROM back w/o using a brace before performing surgery and after that I will be having reconstructive surgery..which in his words ends in a month with crutches and a brace, then 6-9 months before I'm back to full capacity..In my words that means we'll see how I feel =) Moral of the story, don't be stupid (I clearly have yet to master that concept!)
