stephg 34 Posted January 10, 2014 I am doing good but getting very nervous! I had an ACL repair done on 12/17 and am scheduled for the sleeve on 1/27. I'm still using my crutches and wondering if my knee if going to let me move forward with this? I should have been sleeved in October, but had to postpone it due to the knee injury and I don't want to put it off any longer!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ProudGrammy 8,322 Posted January 10, 2014 postpone it due to the knee injury stephg sorry about your knee tne reason behind those knee problems often have to do with our weight "issues" i had 2 knee replacements hope you continue to recup ok, and will have the surgery done on the 27th being nervous, excited, scared et al are common emotions that will continue speedy recovery good luck kathy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stephg 34 Posted January 10, 2014 Thank you. My injury isn't due to my weight. I had a auto accident 20 yrs ago and broke my knee then had numerous surgeries and was doing great until September, when I had a horrible fall to the same knee. Now the weight on my leg is an issue, It has to go!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
