ACL Update

This is what my honey looked like last Monday after he tore his ACL. He was so sad.

  I will tell you now, this was a very forced smile. I was not very happy at the time. In fact, I'm pretty sure we both cried on the way home.
Thanks Nikki for the photos...I stole these off your facebook page!

We went to an orthopedic specialist two days later, who basically told us what we already knew...Morgan had an isolated ACL tear and would need surgery if he ever wanted to be athletic again. JOY! The good thing, it wasn't an emergent situation, so we had time to figure out our finances and schedules and see when would be a good time to get the surgery. We debated between several different options, but we eventually decided the sooner, the better. We are scheduled for ACL reconstructive surgery on Nov. 22nd. 

FUN!

I'm so sorry! If I were closer I would totally bring you guys some Arby's after the surger like you did when Scott had his appendix out:)

Bummer!!! However...he does look like he's on a football field - way to go out like a champ. We would have applauded him off the field!
