Mr. Sissy-pants gets an ow-ee


Just so everyone knows the story, I was playing an heroic game of basketball at the church.  I got a little bit zealous and was trying to save a wild ball from going out of bounds!  My foot stayed planted while I pivoted and my knee went ker-pop!  (Did I mention it was a carpeted gym... I think that helped.)  It turned out that I had torn my ACL.  So, last Friday I had surgery to reconstruct it.  My understanding is they took a graft from my hamstring.  They drilled holes in my bones and attached the graft where the old ACL used to be.  Now I'm walking with crutches and toning it down a little on the court.
