ACL SURGERY

For those of you who didn't know, I tore my ACL in my knee in that skiing accident back in december. And so I had to get Surgery. they auto graphed my hamstring tendon to replace my old ACL.
BEFORE,, yes, it was beautiful (well... compared to the after..)

pre-op

Post-op
miserable me. my poor leg all swollen and casted and braced up.



thankfully I have people who love me. like lil Kinnedi! who made me very very happy! also big thanks for all of those who came to visit me in my state of distress : trent and candice, celeste and adam, evelyn, grandma and boyfriend, seminary council, kaelyn, and most of all Mom, Dad and Thomas. thank you so much!

finally a week later I go to the doc to take off my cast.

AFTER. ewww check out all those incisions. actually quite fasinating.




this is the nurse assistant taking out my suture. (I only took pictures for a HOSA photography competition)

yay! no more suture. time to heal!
