lesson learned

So it's official. Aaron's ACL is torn.

like gone.


completely...


sheesh......


he went into the emergency room on sunday and they said he'd need an MRI and referred him to Dr. Rudzki with Washing Sports Medicine (totally might not be his name). He's a really nice guy. He was enthralled by Aaron, as most slightly athletic white men are...he walks in a room and they want to give hima high five for some reason. The doctor explained the inner workings of his knee as well as the possible outcomes. He used football analogies that threw me off, but drew pictures, which I have been recreating as I explin the situation to ppl.

He tried to feel around aaron's knee to see if he could figure out what was going on without an MRI...

the result "ok. so here's the situation...you're a really big guy- with really strong hamstrings...i start tuggin gon you and without realizing you flex. i have no idea whats going on there...we'll schedule and MRI"

His MRI was scheduled for tuesday - not even going to get into that phone tag... he went in and Evan, the redheaded technician broke it down "your ACL is gone"

dammit

so the next appointment is on the 27th...i have me 2 week appointment and aaron has another consultion to discuss options and to check on the swelling in his knee...


hopefully we can work out some sort of plan...



lesson from this: HEALTH INSURANCE IS A MUST...especially if you play sports...
