My 17 year old son is going in for ACL surgery tomorrow and wondering if anyone here has any stories, thoughts or experiences with this. I played sports all the way through college and never had this kind of problem. He is an exceptional athlete and will most likely, from all dr's accounts, will miss his senior season of football and some of basketball. He is one of the states leading receivers and loves football. At 6'5" he is a huge target with great hands. He will be able to play basketball some but as a pont gueard may have to change his role and should be 100% by baseball, in which he is the No. 1 pitcher on a annually state ranked team. I do not know if this is killing me or him worse. He has heard that two months is the best and nine months the worst case senarios for recovery and release to play sports. Good news (most encouraging) is that two colleges have already contacted him and still want him to play football and one even wants him to play baseball also. That was the first smile on his face in two weeks.
By the way I took him fishing yesterday and he caught three keepers for over ten pounds. Largest going a little under five. Second smile on his face in two weeks. I would post pictures but the cell phone didn't save the pictures. I am sure it was my fault but the memories are there forever!
Sorry this is so long, I feel better now!
Thanks!
