Aquarium :1 Mike :0

[michaeljames]

Well my new 180g finally came in this thursday... I was excited about getting it into the house, My good friend jesse convinced me there was no sense waiting for more people to carry it as we're both strapping young lads, needless to say we should have waited...
As I stepped off the tailgate of my truck, my knee went in a direction it was not designed to go. After two hours of (being a man about it) I decided (was forced) to go to the ER. 4 excruciating hours later I was sent home with a smile (from the drugs) not only did I get my Aquarium I also recieved a knee brace, a pair of crutches, a script for vicodin and a tear in my ACL...
Now I have to lay here looking at an empty tank...

Thanks guys, as they say patience is a virtue, impatience is 4-6 weeks in a brace...

thats sucks man, i know what pain (or not, depending on the drugs) that you have... I had a torn ACL last christmas....

Ow

Knee pain is no fun. At least the story does not read "Knee twisted and I dropped the tank breaking it"...that would have been even worse.

luckily my thighs caught ths tank so it's safe and sound, but it does look like I have an extra set of knees...

Complete tear or partial?

either way, sorry to hear about it.

 

[michaeljames]

the ortho guy said it's to swollen to tell right now, gotta go back in a week for a MRI... I'm prayin it's only a partial!

Just wondering. I was at Strong from 7pm friday till 5pm sunday. Everything is ok now

And, I'm happy to hear that your tank is ok...to hell with your knee.
