So I went to the doctor thursday and he told me my ACL is torn was pretty bad and I need surgery. I will be getting the surgery this wednesday morning. I didnt think the surgery was going to be that bad but the past few days have been really depressing for me. I just cant do all the things that I used to be able to do. I wont be able to do anything physical for about 6 months. Ill be going to through rehab every week. I cant do any of the activities on my super activity this summer, I wont be able to waterski or anything that puts strain on my knee. It is going to be a very long and painful 6 months but atleast going to rehab and the gym everyday Ill be buff lol!
It also has been hard on me spiritually. I have been so focused on this surgery and just havent had my thoughts focused on my saviour like I normally do. The adversary knows that I am week right now and he is doing all that he can to make me feel awful.
It is definitely going to be a tough 6 months but I will get through it!

I know how hard it is to not be able to do much!! I was the one who always got left out of stuff because of my leg!! I did a fair share of crying back as a teenager wondering why I had to deal with a bum leg.
Focus on what you can do and not what you can't do...Like my mom said you can practice your violin more now!! Scripture study doesnt require walking either!!
Surgery is stressful but don't let it get the best of you!! Just remember why you are doing it and be grateful that in 6 months you should be back to good!!
This dodgy knee may be with you for Life, I took it easy for 6-9 months after surgery and the problem still persists to this day (5 years on). Maybe I am unlucky or maybe my knee was worse.
But whatever, take it easy and dont push it too hard too soon.
Good luck
