Break A Leg, Johhny
Wellllllllpp, I went to the doctor. At least he told the truth. He told me that judging by the symptoms and the way it feels when he presses it, and by the XRay, it looks like I tore the ligament that holds the two large leg bones together. This is a huge problem and if I don't fix it, I will have my knee collapse on me randomly for the rest my life. I am not looking forward to that. Now the solution...I will need an operation. I will need a hole drilled diagonally through the two bones and have a rod inserted through them. The rod will then leave a polyester ligament there and sew it to the ends of the tendons to keep my leg in one piece. I will need a 4 month physical therapy session after the thing is installed. 4 months. That's exactly the time I have before school starts. God damn. Some vacation this turned out to be.
