Sorry to hear that, ahhculdee. Hope you make a full recovery and that it doesn't affect your long-term life style and leisure/sports activities.
Find a comfortable resting place, and watch the Boilers make a tournament run.

Welcome to the club! Had my surgery this past November -- recovery hasn't been too bad and have found I can get out of particular chores by saying "My knee is really bothering me today."
Best of luck, ahhculdee!
I was at a trampoline park at a church event. I got there and went to play dodgeball and within the first five minutes I went up to throw a ball and went I came down I landed awkward and heard a pop.
Man, I want to start playing ball again (been 5+ years away) but I'm 40 and I have a bad feeling either ACL or Achilles might be in my future
Update:Just had my surgery and am,doing well. Although I have had a couple scares since my leg is numb.
One piece of unsolicited advice: do all of the rehab your doctor tells you to do, exactly how he tells you to do it. My brother tore his ACL playing soccer, didn’t do the rehab 100% perfect, and his ACL knee is still not quite the same as the other one, well over a decade later.
I will. One of best friends also tore his ACL a couple months ago. He had surgery much earlier than me. That's the biggest thing knowing somebody else that had the same thing to keep you motivated. Hopefully my recovery goes as well as Elijah's and my fruend's has gone.
Hell I'm still playing bb at least 3 times a week and I'm .....69.Some of the guys I play against are in their 40s and 50s Then there are some old farts in their 60s.Still enjoy it and still competitive! Go for it
Conversely, don't overdo the therapy. I have a friend who had both knees replaced, one right after the other had recovered. He was in a rush to get back to full health because he lead a very active life. He thought he'd speed up his recovery if he did additional therapy workouts on his own beyond what the therapist prescribed and of course without telling the therapist. He did recover quicker than expected, but about 6 years later he paid for it by having to go thru a partial replacement on one knee.
THIS!!!
Had my ACL repair a little over 3 years ago, committed to the PT and have had incredible flexibility, mobility, and no pain.
Still can't jump like I used to, but that's a function of the years on my body, if you know what I mean.
There's many more Purdue athletes beyond those 2 that you can relate to. We were having ACL issues left and right it seemed for a bit. I don't think it's a coincidence certain people have been replaced on staff and its seemingly decreased.
Yeah.
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
ACL tears happen. It's not a conspiracy, it's not negligence. It's not incompetence. It just happens.
