Justin's Surgery

So, Justin blew out his ACL about a year ago. Not just a tear, but it completely exploded. Well we finally got it fixed. About two weeks ago he went in for surgery to have it reconstructed and have his meniscus repaired as well. They took the middle part of his patellar ligament to creat his new ACL and then stiched up his meniscus. The recovery time is about 9 months to a year until he is brace free playing basketball again, but he should be up and walking sometime in the near future. He is having to hobble around on crutches right now since his left leg can't have any weight baring, but hopefully he can lose the crutches soon. He goes in on Thursday to have his stitches removed and see what the surgeon says.
His knee a couple days after the surgery!

He was pretty excited to finally be able to use the electric carts at Walmart!
More pictures to come once we see the surgeon.....
