I am laying on the couch icing my knee for the last time as a pre-op ACL tearer. In about 20 minutes I am leaving for the hospital. I am a funny mix of really excited, a little nervous and pretty hungry (I can't eat until after surgery). We went out to kabobs last night and saw "Prometheus" in IMAX 3D to celebrate my last night of walking for a while. I was thinking I should have seen it this morning because I wouldn't have an appetite anymore! Actually it was pretty good. Visually it was awesome and it was cool to see the origin of "Alien" but they left a lot open for a sequel and the acting was so-so. I am excited for the U.S. Open of golf this weekend and the NBA Finals tonight as I won't be able to do much else but watch TV and movies.
I'll be posting some pics of the damage and honking brace they gave me to wear. Hopefully it won't be too gross. From what I hear it should just be a small incision to remove my patellar tendon and then the two scope holes on either side of my knee. The worst part is going to be the swelling. I should be home around 6:30 pm tonight with a new knee! *Fingers crossed*
