not likely. I was sitting on the front porch holding snickette. best i can wager is i moved just as it was about to sting so it didn't get a chance for a deep sting. whatever is was better me than her.

no-see-ums?

Anybody had an ACL reconstructed and meniscus repaired? I'm scheduled for August 4th. Dr. Says I'll be walking in two weeks post op. Find that hard to believe give it has taken me five weeks from injury to start weight bearing again...

My coworker had that exact procedure. He was told 2 and 6 weeks

 

[slickjohannes]

As in told he would walk in 2 but it took him six??? There goes enjoying the beach vacation.

 

[NJmike PE]

Two weeks post on walking, and 6 weeks later rehab began

 

[slickjohannes]

Screw rehab- I'm not a quitter!

I had an ACL and meniscus, but I had the sacrifical patella procedure. The heads of the bones were mashed a bit too. It is rock solid now, but I was walking without crutches closer to 6 weeks, and not on beach sand.

but with a cadaver it would go faster I hear.

I just don't want some hunk of walking dead stuck in my leg. but that's just me...

I'm getting a hammy replacement. My bones were 'compacted' as well. Other than bone bruising (which I'm sure contributed to the pain) I don't know that the compacting does anything bad.

I was told my bum leg would be just as good as the good leg (with time, of course) so skiing is in for 2016/2017.

definitely pulled or strained one of the oblique muscles on the side of the ribcage. laughing hurts, a lot.

Eventually my injured leg became the stronger one. I was skiing 8 months post op, while I had most of the strength back it was more of a mental obstacle to overcome.

Be sure to get the constant passive motion machine for home and the cryo cuff. I was on prescription pain meds for 3 days then just alternated advil and tylenol every 2 or 3 hours.

heading to the doctor in a bit to get a spider bite looked at... I hate spiders

 

[snickerd3]

not fun.

 

[engineergurl]

not fun.

no but I figure since the center of it is starting to darken from purple to black I should get it checked out...lol

 

[snickerd3]

what the hell kind of spiders do you have out there?

 

[Supe]

I suspect it looked something like this:

 

[engineergurl]

I think it might have been a wolf spider. I see them all the time and they normally leave you be.

 

[YMZ PE]

That sucks, EG!

I hope it's not a brown recluse. I understand they're pretty nasty.
