Relief and Frustration
So I had my knee surgery on Tuesday. For those not in the know, I had a torn ACL – which I tore a few weeks before my wedding – and after having some trouble playing softball this summer I booked the surgery. The best surgeon possible performed the operation and I’ve got some of [...]
