I was looking up about the doctor that I have, Dr. William Isbell with the Raleigh Orthopedic Clinic. Nerve wracking because it's hard to tell who's a good doctor and who is not. But eh, he seems good. He worked on Brind'amour in February, he's a Carolina Hurricane. And I was trying to look for Physical Therapy places. I've found a couple. Eeep!
Time for class.
The chronicle of my ACL tear of 6/4/08: the story, the surgery, the therapy, the progress and everything in between.
Hey all, Lisa here. This is a blog about my ACL tear that happened June 2008 from bailing off a runaway horse. Basically, it's here for my family and friends to keep tabs on my situation. But I'm also doing it for those who are in the elite cyber family of ACL tears--the first thing I did was research all about it and try to find personal accounts of surgery, physical therapy, and overall information. So everyone else, these posts are etched in internet stone for you!

Went to a REALLY informative site, American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, "ACL Injury: Does It Require Surgery?":

Assuming the answer is yes for you, really good explanation & pictures.
You've probably already seen this, but just in case, I'm passing it along for your research collection!
Love, Mom
