So in an eventful turn of events, my husband has torn his ACL. The ligament tear is also accompanied by a segund fracture (as I understand it, it is caused by the tear). As of right now he is limping around. They gave him a brace and some crutches but the doctors recommend that he use the crutches and not the brace so that he can have a greater range of motion when he goes into surgery. Yep. Surgery.
The worst part is that he tore his other ACL about 13 years ago so he knows just how bad this is going to get before it gets better. So now in addition to limping around and being in general pain and discomfort, he’s pretty bummed too.
It’s his right leg so no driving for quite some time. Surgery is next week and he’s already begun physical therapy to prepare. I’m sure he’ll start the post-op therapy very soon afterwards.
Any ideas for ways of cheering him up? (Let’s try to keep it PG-13, guys)
