Surgery

In one hour, I'll be going through surgery as I broke my ACL last Sunday. 
Keep me in your prayers.

Praying

Prayers!

I am in my room already; thanks for the prayers. Now comes the hardest part: recovery.

ACL reconstruction?

Yes, sir.

What did you do?

I tore mine at 40 playing street football like an idiot.

Absolutely attack rehab! It'll suck the first 2-3 weeks but I was back on the job firefighting in 3.5 months. 

I was playing soccer, and a defender tried to block me then I jumped to avoid him, and when I landed, I heard a crack, and that was it.

You broke it, or tore it?

It was broken 99%

How do you break a cartilage?

Oh wow, I'm sorry to hear this.  I will pray for strength and healing during your recovery.  
I'm sure it will not be a picnic, but pace yourself and let's hope for a progressively good outcome.

No idea. 

But ACL is not a cartilage, but a ligament. Ligaments are made of tough, fibrous tissue and are crucial for stabilizing joints by connecting bones to other bones.

Are you lying with your leg in that constant motion machine? 

I caught up on a lot of movie/shows lying on my back on the floor. 

I am watching some TV series now. Thanks God for Netflix

KK, how are you doing after your surgery?

I'm doing a lot better now, been doing some physical therapy. And a few weeks back, I kicked off another round of NMES too. My leg’s been acting all weak because I was pretty much leaning on the other one for so long. So yeah, I'm kinda relearning how to walk on both legs again. My doctor mentioned it's more of a mental thing and it'll ease up with time.
