MRI and meet with the orthopedist again
went in the morning to get the MRI. had to lay still for 45 minutes during the process, which is a lot more difficult than it seems - my hand started falling asleep and my leg started to itch, but i couldn't do anything about it. met with the doctor to go over the radiology report in the afternoon and he said that i managed to completely rupture my ACL, tear my medial meniscus, and slightly sprain my MCL. he recommended arthoscopic surgery for the ACL rupture and miniscus tear. also, i got behind the wheel of my car for the first time, which was nice. thankfully, it was my left knee that got injured and i drive an automatic transmission, so aside from getting in and out of the car, i have no problems driving. also managed to start walking using only one crutch. the small victories feel good!
