Hey guys , been a while !
Well been very down for the last few months , finished my cycle ,got good gains , but things went to hell about 7 weeks ago , I was @ work walking down the plant (steel mill ) where I work , in the floor there is a 30' x 60' steel floor section that the guys lift out with a crane to get to underground water pumps , anyway one of the guys left a steel ring that is used to hook the lifting chains into to lift it up in the air , it was dark and I steped on it with my left foot , My left knee poped and I cloudnt walk on it , when the guys carried me to firstaid @ the plant and they cut my paint leg off my knee cap and lower leg where out of place , my toes on my left leg where pointing @ my right anckel , and the knee area was as big as an grapefruit , it didnt hurt to much when I did it , kinda hot burning feeling , so off the er we go , when I got there , the doc did x-rays no bone damage ,x-rays only show bone , the doc noticed that the lower part of my left leg was cold to the touch , and the pulse in my foot was not to stroung , so he call in a vascular surgen , he thought I had damaged the blood vessels that run throught the knee to the lower leg !
Well both of them talk for a while , and then tell me that they have to hurt me to help me ! I told them that it couldnt hurt worse that it was already , BIG MISTAKE , they gave me a shot of demarol and came back in one grabbed my uper leg and one grabbed my anckel and pulled and twisted my knee and lower leg back into socket , I can handel pain , but I will tell you that when they got done I was crying like a baby and almost passed out from the pain !!!!!!!!! They then put me in a brace from my hip to my anckel to keep it streached out , crutches and sent me home .
I went to and orthopedic surgon the next day and went under the knife the day after , they repaired 2 legments , 1 tendon , cartlage and removed some scar tissue.
I am still in the brace it has been three weeks since the op and have lost 15 lbs , I can stand on it but it still kills to bend it , I go back this morning to the doc to see if it is time to get the brace off and start rehab , it has killed me to not be able to hit the gym everyday , my lady takes me two days a week and loads the plates for me so I can try to keep the upper body growing .
Thanks guys for giveing me the time to vent and tell this story , as The man has said in the past ( ILL BE BACK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
