Chillest Surgery Ever
I met with my surgeon yesterday to talk about my upcoming knee surgery.
Man, that guy was so chilled out. We talked about Toronto Island for more time than we talked about the surgery. And when we did talk about the surgery he was incredibly nonchalant and all, "oh yeah. Come in in the morning, 35-40 minute surgery, and you'll be out by lunch."
This guy was aloof. Serene. We talked offhandedly about how they're going to core a piece of my tibia bone out, put some hamstring down that hole, and then stuff the tibia piece back in there. Faster healing time or whatevskies. Whatevskies indeed. Beer me.
Dr. Schmidt? More like Dr. Imperturbable.
My surgery date is next Friday, on Halloween (got any costume ideas that incorporate crutches and a bloody knee? You know where to send 'em) and he said I'll be off crutches in a week, able to bike and swim after 2 weeks, and able to start running in a month!
My mom is flying down on the 30th and she's probably going to make me delicious homemade lasagna. Plus both my older sisters said they're going to send me surgery presents.
MAN. Tearing my acl is the best thing that's ever happened to me.

Aw, yay! I love your outlook, and Dr. Cucumber (as in "cool as a"). Good luck!
Is he good looking? Cause that definitely helps too. This post made me want lasanga...
Firstly, I think you should be a mummy, no better costume to accompany bandages.
And secondly...did you go for leg tendon or cadaver tendon?
Ha, well good! I hope everything goes well :)
