The "Discovery" Appointment; April 29th

I was discharged this past Saturday with just a dislocated knee from the ER. Considering I was not able to put any pressure on my leg, as the ER doctor told me I would be able to do, I assumed I had re-torn my brand new ACL that Dr. Peter Millett @ Steadman Hawkins had put in December of 2006. I made an appointment for that Tuesday so that Millett could check out "his work".

I got there, was severely swollen still in my knee... obviously more than I should have been after this type of injury. Millett had already had me stop by to get an MRI prior to our visit. A few things made him a little curious, he took me down the hall and had me do 3 more X-Rays.

My glorious news for the day was that the ACL held up like a champ! My problem was, I had been sent home from the ER on Saturday with a broken Femur! OUCH! Millett tried to get me back for surgery that day.... just didn't work out. Surgery would be tomorrow, on Wednesday.

This is Dan the Man by the way.... showing me my jacked up knee!!
