A few months ago, I was playing basketball. I made the mistake of figuring that I was in shape enough...and I didn't warm up enough. I played...and I won. I won against a very very violent black person who started yelling "how dare a white kid beat him". I was shoved to the left, and my right foot caught on some gum just enough to throw me more off balance. I fell on it, and it the knee bent inward completely, with my weight on it. It popped 4 times and went numb with pain (when the numbness left, I had to use all my self control not to yell and cry). What had happened was that the ACL ligament (the ligament the keeps your bottom half of the leg attached to the top half) was shredded completely and severed in half, and the cartilage on both sides was completely broken. I had to get it reconstructed with metal parts.
I came home to my bed and could not even think about moving it for 2 weeks, since three holes were drilled through my bone and a piece of a perfectly good tendon was used, that all needed to heal. The FIRST DAY I got on my feet, I miscalculated and kicked the corner of my desk with most of my weight. I split my fourth toe in half that day.
Now, 4 months later, my right leg is 95 percent better (I play BBall perfectly now) and my toe still aches from time to time. My leg was supposed to take 8 months to get to the level I'm at now. =)
