Memorial day wiffleball game gone wrong. My buddy ran full speed into a fence and "broke his knee" as the doctors say. Freak accident from hell, how this happened I'm still trying to put together.

Poor guy is getting married in 5 weeks too. So how was your memorial day??

Talk about adding insult to injury...

just went over there to see how he was doing. He's okay right now due to being all doped up, but I feel so bad....he needs to get surgery....his fiancee is not pleased

hard manual labor, no sleep, lots of dust and grease ...

i broke my knee also.....

not fun. tell him not to freak when he wakes up and cannot move his knee (immobilized)

you did huh...whats the next couple months look like for him?

I hate to say it but sympathy is the right emotion here. The fiancee needs to take look at priorities.

I agree and she was concered first and foremost at the hosptial....

but as my wife pointed out, the only thing she can think about right now is how this is going to change their wedding day. He won't be able to walk down the aisle, dance, etc. The guy just can't seem to catch a break recently...

i broke my knee cap, and tore patella-femoral ligament.... (and lots of cartilige damage)

its not that bad. 8 weeks in an immbilizer (all the time) and crutches for at least the first 4-6 weeks of that....

try driving stick with a broken knee LOL ( i tried LOL)

anyway... as long as the docs do the surg all good, it will be about 90-95 percent as good as it was....

4 years later and im fine. when it gets wicked cold my knee gets stiff...


not bad.
