Sergio's surgery

Well he had his surgery on Friday, Feb. 27th. We went in at 8:15am and they took him back about 10am. They had a hard time getting the block in his leg, each time they would poke the muscle to find the nerve it would push the needle back out.

I wasn't happy with the woman who was doing it as she was really rude to me, I even thought about filing a complaint!

But back to the surgery, it went very well. It was more damaged on the inside than the doctor originally thought. His ACL was tore completley and had been for quite some time. His meniscus was also tore in two different places in two different directions. So the doctor said that his chances of arthritis are higher, like anyone who has invasive surgery like that. The MRI showed he had the start of it already and it runs in his family.

So the doctor scraped off the flap of meniscus that was loose there and cleaned up the other area. Then he took one of the three hamstring muscles and used it to make an ACL. He is on crutches now and will be until they tell him more in physical therapy which is tomorrow. He is tolerating the pain well. He is doing really well with the resting part. However we are only on day 2! Keep praying for his sanity while he isn't able to go to the gym. He also won't be able to run for 3 months and he is pretty upset about that.

I will update more later when there is new news!
