So last Sunday I'm working on finishing the basement and fish room, turn to grab something off the floor and POW. Went down like a rock. Felt like someone shot me in my left knee. Being low on sick leave I worked 4 eve shifts last week and by Friday couldn't take it anymore. Went to the Ortho and MRI shows I have a grade 2 tear of my left MCL. Wearing a lovely custom fit brace from my shin to my thigh, HUGE anti-inflammatories and pain meds. Worst part about it is it takes me 5 minutes to make it down the stairs to the tank :( No work till next Wednesday and light duty for 4-6 weeks....

Sorry to hear about your injury (though probably not as sorry as you ;) ) I've had reconstructive surgery on both knees so I know what you're going through. Just make sure you get a good PT after you've healed up.

sorry to hear and watch out you dont get hooked on those pain killers, seen to many people go down that road, feel better buddy

Thanks bud. Yeah they are pee testing me once a week to make sure I am not overdoing the meds. I went down that route 12 years ago after I was badly burned. Had a pretty bad problem with the morphine they were giving me afterwards. Won't go there again..
