A while back i made a thread about my epic longboard fail
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/12186966/page/1
Well I was just able to get seen by a sports medicine specialist, and he said that I got a "bucket handle" meniscus tear, which is going to require surgery and alot of rehab.
So lame. This is my last semester in college, and i missed my spring break, and most likely wont be able to walk at graduation, and not being able to do anything for the first half of the summer, including my job that i was supposed to have out of school 
Life is just shitting all over me right now depression much? (//_-)
shit sucks balls

I had a "sports injury" surgery... Being put to sleep with anesthesia is a really bizarre experience. I was under for a couple of hours, maybe more, I never asked how long it took, but it didn't feel like any time passed... no dreams, no thoughts. I remember talking to the doctor and then waking up a micro-second later with smelling salts, shivering... I guess from blood loss.
Very strange to be out so long and have the feeling like no time passed.

I think his main point of the thread is that he's going to be unable to walk for some time. But hey man, think of it this way...You're GRADUATING and already have a job lined up. Will the job understand if you can't walk for a little? Just appreciate that it isn't permanent. Your life seems to be going great other than your leg. Once it's done, it's hello world.
And make sure you check those damn ball bearings!

if you have them amputate you at the knee, you can be walking in time for graduation and for your job by use of prosthetics

lol i choose to keep my leg. And yea im not going to be able to walk for a while. Ive already been on crutches for 4 weeks, im going to be on them for a whilllllle. then theres the rehab. I cant work because too much time in rehab and real resting thats necessary.
im just kinda venting my frustration. I just wanted to have a fun last semester at school and go out hiking and disc golfin, and drinking/tripping too with friends, but life doesnt go to plan i guess.

Shit, i am having hernia surgery May 17th and should recover within a couple weeks, but will have to wait 6 weeks before lifting anything over 10lbs supposedly ... i was thinking i had it pretty bad.
Hope you recover quick and without much pain man. Shitty time for this to happen to you.

Yeah it sucks, but come on man, don't worry about it too much.... what's missing a couple weeks of some disc golf? It could be worse.
My foot was crushed at work, had to get orthopedic surgery and tendon surgery, I have 15 screws in my foot and a steel plate and I'll never walk the same again; without pain. I got screwed by Worker's compensation, only got 4grand for the entire ordeal, I was in recovery for 14 weeks and I lost a $55,000/year Job with the best benefits I've ever seen. And this stuff about 'Wrongful Termination'... that shit's in the movies and TV shows, I couldn't even find a lawyer to take my Wrongful Termination case... and the one who was willing to attempt to file a lawsuit, said it would, realistically, end in their favor and end up costing me money for expenses. It took me a while to recover financially, lost my new car, depleted my savings account/checking account, was penalized for closing out my 401k early, and I almost lost my house.
It could've been worse for me too... that 800lb steel beam could've hit me in the head instead of my foot and killed me.
Keep on the Sunny side mate.
