A new ACL

About a month ago Scott hurt his knee playing church ball. (It's always church ball, isn't it?) He went to the instacare and they said it was probably sprained and to give it a couple of weeks. If it didn't feel better then he should see a specialist. Well, last Friday he saw the specialist. He was almost positive Scott had torn his ACL. Surgery was necessary. So Tuesday Scott went in to Altaview hospital and got himself a new ACL, as well as having to have his meniscus (the pad inbetween bones) repaired, it was torn in three different places. Here are some of those fun pictures from the surgery!

Before, with no ACL and some of the damage.
All cleaned up and his new cadaver ACL.

Just looks like the inside of your mouth. Not even bloody. Come on JP. Tell Scott to rest more and he will recover FASTER.
