One Week Before Surgery
It’s one week before the big ACL reconstruction...
OK. The day is arriving rapidly. If work hadn’t kept me insanely busy the past few weeks probably would have felt like an eternity. But now d-day is rapidly approaching and I feel like I haven’t had enough time to ask my OS, Dr. Michael A. Kelly, about which surgery to get. I’m nervous about choosing the allograft over the autograft. Should I even go through with this surgery since I feel like I’m starting to get my strength back…
Well, I called Dr. Kelly’s office and left a message with his answering service to call me back on Monday or Tuesday, although I just realized that I’ll be flying on Tuesday to Boston. I remarkably calm because deep down in my heart I KNOW I am going to go through with the surgery and I’m just having the usual fears that come with the unknown. Right now my leg feels stronger than it has been since the injury and I can almost run or at least I feel that I can jog. I tried to run across the street to beat a traffic light but I wasn’t so confident I my feet. I’m not sure I’m that strong.
Yes, I will get the surgery. I can’t be sure that this is the way I want to go through life and it’s taken me 3.5 months just to think about running across a New York City street.
