Hello all. Tom here. Well, I just happened to look at the calendar and it caught me off guard. Monday 7/18 will be three years since my double rupture. I thank this board and it's posters for keeping me afloat. Not a lot of information out there on a double rupture. Crappiest injury I have ever had the pleasure of having (and I have had a s**t load of them). Seems like just yesterday I was out in my garden crying my ass off and wondering why I could not stand up. Took like three tries before I realized I was screwed. Think I did it all. Surgery, PT, exercise and a build back up. Not where I was before, but I can live with it. I am back to coaching softball and soccer. Giving pitching lessons to the girls and even though I only jog around the bases, that is good enough for me. Still have some residual pain at times, with swelling after doing too much. When I feel stiff, I stretch. When I feel pain, I ice and elevate. When I want to relax, I do. Hope everyone is doing well with their recoveries. Hope to meet someone sometime who has had this happen, but in three years, everyone still thinks I had knee replacement. But, this is worse.
