Brace yourself Robert

Today Robert had his orthopedic appointment regarding the ACL tear in his left knee.

He was fitted for a brace.  He will start rehab next week.  He was told it will probably take 4-6 months (MONTHS) to heal.  Oh … my … gosh.

That calculates to no basketball season, no indoor soccer season, and probably no NOMS soccer season, and no spring Javanon season.  OH MY GOSH!!!

I'm not complaining, actually I am very grateful it isn't anything worse.  It could be a full tear, it could have been cancer or something life threatening.  Robert's summer accident was much more serious that the already serious accident we took it for.  We are very grateful that he is alive, well and in good spirits.

This will pass with time, like my back.  It's just hard to watch your very active young (youngest child) be hurt and unable to do the things that he loves (almost needs) to do.  However, this will pass and he will be back better, stronger and more determined to continue in his activities.
