10 days and counting..

Its been ten whole days since Ive been able to drive my truck! I cant wait for my damn knee to heal so I can get back in er!

On a positive, I did manage to get into it the other day, and got the woman to take me for a spin. Even got her to hammer it down on the highway and blow past a slow driving buick

Having to let her sit gets old real quick but when you finally get in her it makes it all worth the wait. Why haven't you been able to drive the truck?

I got my acl repaired in my knee. Im just able to start putting weight on my knee now, and should be walking (slowly with a limp) in the next couple of days.
I told the ol lady I could drive my truck using my left foot on the brake, and an axe to push the "gas" peddle, but she didnt think that was a good idea Neither did the doc haha.

It sucks too, it needs a good washing and I cant stand long enough (yet) to be able to wash it!

All ive been able to do for the last ten days is sit around and rest, ice my knee, keep it compressed, and elevate it.

Thats why ive been on fte ALOT!
