After reading so many great stories on the Web about ACL surgery and, having lived through the process, I thought I would put my thoughts about surgery (pre and post op) on the web for friends, family and visitors to read. Some of it is funny and everybody will enjoy. Some will only really be helpful for those who are about to experience the same procedures that I have. My only hope is that some find it helpful, amusing, and a little informative.

Just added an update from re-injury after my first surgery (updated on 5/15/2000).  Click on Update section to read it and weep!

Believe it or not, I have another update (January 2001)...another surgery (3rd on the right knee).   Click on Not Again section to find out more
