Jacob

 So back in Sucktember (also know as September 2021) Jacob injured himself at football practice. At the time his coach called me to let me know he had injured his knee and that he was sitting out icing it. I had asked if Jacob had heard a pop, how bad the swelling was, what was his range of motion and if he could put weight on it? From what the coach told me it didn't seem too bad. Fast forward 2 weeks, bypassing quarantine, and Jacob and I are sitting in an orthopedic surgeon's office. The doctor think Jacob has torn his ACL. I am like what?! He is too young! That is a major injury, with a major surgery to repair it! Well the MRI confirmed he did in fact completely tear his ACL. Yuck! Jacob is now scheduled for surgery on November 19. 

I do not like any of this. I am concerned for his healing and future knee health. I am concerned about him under going surgery at such a young age. I just don't like it.
