    dude. you have no idea how easy you have it.

    i tore my acl playing baseball a junior in high school.... 12 years ago. things were WAY different.

    the day OF surgery when i woke up my leg was already mush. i stayed in the hospital for 3 days to drain all the goo. when they took the wrapped leg cast thingy off i couldn't believe how many cuts i had.... 5 to be exact.

    i rehabbed the whole summer and by the beginning of the next year could walk on it fairly well. they said i'd never play baseball again but i proved them wrong. i had to wear a special brace for a few years but now it's all better... knock on wood.

    2 years ago a cousin had the same injury as a junior in high school while playing football. it was an in and out surgery and he was walking on it the next day. no scars only a minor cut. he was 100% in a few weeks. unreal. it took me MONTHS of major rehab.

    good luck with yours buddy. i guess the acl is the major repair so at least you got lucky it wasn't that one.
