cetoole Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 (edited) Ouch Al, sorry to hear about your accident. Like everyone else, I hope it isnt too bad and you have a quick recovery.

Torpedo Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 sorry to read that mate I hope the MRI doesn't confirm those suspicions, but I'm afraid I am not very optimistic Did they suggest at some point any sort of surgical procedure if the ACL or meniscus are damaged?

Just generally said that out-patient arthroscopic surgery would be involved, but the ACL is more major and longer on the recovery side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I wait...I was going to ask if that was walking or driving, but then I remembered what part of town you work in so...same, right? Or are you not counting traffic? Good luck!

n_maher Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 I just don't know how to feel. When you take The Menace out of Vince Vaughn, what are you left with? It was a decision that took months to make Steve so it wasn't entered into lightly. Trust in the fact that it's replacement, the MenaceTC, will be equal to the task of replacing the original.

Torpedo Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Just generally said that out-patient arthroscopic surgery would be involved, but the ACL is more major and longer on the recovery side. So they started "preparing" you already. Well, good luck, let's see what the MRI says. If you're not planning to practice sports, you might do pretty well without ACL repair surgery...

Grahame Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Al, sorry to hear of your predicament. Here's hoping for the best outcome. Do you still have any of the Can Jam thank you left for self medicating? Isn't there a Dispensary in Mayberry that can help in easing the pain? If you need any help for the NorCal meet, let me know.

Or are you not counting traffic? Good luck! Thanks Dusty. Yeah, mostly driving, though it could be walked. But its off of Beach Drive a bit, so walking would probably be half hour or so, though part of the commute would be tricky on foot if I didnt take back roads, as it goes over the bridge of 355 near the beltway ramps. It would be great if I got it, as its a separate house, so I could go hog wild with speakers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duggeh Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Suddenly thirsty. Good read, Doug. It really is very, very good indeed. Possibly the best beer I've ever had. The trouble is accouting for how drunk one gets at ale festivals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron_Dreamer Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 HOLY CRAP! Extremely! X-rays were negative for breaks, but there is fluid on the knee and other indications would point to a torn lateral meniscus and possibly a torn ACL. MRI in the next couple days to confirm diagnosis, [wishful thinking]or maybe just show[/wishful thinking]. Fuck. Yikes! Hopefully it won't be too bad in the end. It could have been worse though. At least you didn't get Theismannized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morphsci Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Sorry to hear about the injury Al. Keeping my fingers crossed it's not the ACL, but it's damn hard to drink this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Monkey Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Ugh, that sucks Al. Hopefully it's not too major. My mom just got her knee 'scoped, and it was the best thing she's done for herself in a long time. Up and around in 2 days with less pain than prior to surgery. That said, it was not a major injury, but rather a lot of medium things going on. Anyway, good luck with the diagnosis. Remember to get the good drugs.
