Most of the Zone knows of my son Ted the football player.
His 2020 fall football season was canceled due to Covid and his school picked up 4 spring meaningless games. 3 weeks ago they were playing NW Oklahoma when big Ted laid out his man and the running back and a tackler took him out by his knee. A lineman's worst fear.
Preliminary MRI's show a torn ACL and stretched damaged PCL, MCL, LCL. All from one hit.
He is traveling to Kansas City for a full reconstructive knee surgery from one of the best knee surgeons in the country. He slices the KC Chief players.
So any vibes will help on this long and hard road for him to get back on his feet much less play football again.

Yes he was offered a spot to the Combine by the Detroit Lions but he turned it down to get his diploma. Until then he has 8-14 months of rehab and he can still college ball in fall 22. Tuill then the school will continue its studies and apply credits to Masters. Coaches want him for 1 more year.

Ouch. I follow football and hope he lives his dream, but maybe other, less injury-prone paths will open.
I'm reading Ravens articles right now and all the free agents they are looking at are like 28 and "Well, he had a good rookie year, but then he got injured, then rehabbed, then played 6 games, then got injured, then traded, then played 4 games, then got injured, etc..."
It always was to an extent, but that professional sport is becoming more and more "Gladiators Working for Gamblers."

As a former football player and as someone who's dealt with knee pain, I can relate. Sounds like he's on top of the medical scenarios, and has the warrior spirit to navigate them.

His ACL was not as bad as feared and was actually beginning to heal itself to the bone which apparently is a good thing.
The Meniscus was exploded, this is not a good thing, they trimmed and cleaned up the cartilage that is out of its home and packed 2.5 grams of some packing materials. (need more info on this) its new,
The ride was a fuck, Anita had to pull over 11 times to adjust the beast.
His 2 roommates are fantastic in helping in and out of bed. Needs help with everything.
Anita is cooking the boys meals and they are happy to lift him
She is already cutting back on the opioids and substituting with the gummies. He seems cool with that.

Thanks for sharing the relatively good news, given the initial fears. Sending hope that Ted has a timely and full recovery. And years of football to play.
Once his playing days are over, I hope that he can shed some weight so that he can better enjoy the physical activities that old guys cherish.
Losing weight has helped my arthritic knee (ski accident/PCL replacement) immensely.
(((Healthy knees for Ted)))
