So it's been an interesting, emotionally trying, and extremely busy last few weeks. Apparently my boyfriend does know I exist. Apparently he reads my facebook closely enough to visit my blog. I am an asshole.
In other news, my MRI came back and the news is.... horrible! :)
Yeah, I have a complete acute tear of my ACL, a partial but severe tear of my MCL, and my medial meniscus is also torn. So, I do indeed have the "unhappy triad." It should be called the "miserable and frustratingly motion-limiting triad." I am scheduled to fly home this Wednesday, get surgery on Thursday, recover until that Tuesday, and fly back to school on Wednesday morning in order to make it to Organic Chemistry class, which, by the way, I have an A in. Yeah, my midterm grades are and A in OChem, A in Senior Seminar, B in Air Force (stupid memos) and an A in Dendrology and Silvics. Trees get annoying after a while.
The surgeon and various doctors told me I'll be in misery for 2 weeks and should be laid up and go nowhere. I said "how's 5 days?", cause that's my limit. I have to go to class, period, end of story, no argument. Of course the complete recovery time is 6-9 months, and that's not gonna work because I have to run a PT test and pass a level III flight physical before I can commission. Now, on my scheduled graduation/commissioning/pinning date of May 10th...which, let's do the math, means I have to get surgery NOW in order to have any chance in hell of making that date. What else...
Uhm, let's see, I'm swamped with paperwork, assignments, insurance claims, and of course my job... hmmm. Overall, I am not enjoying myself because of the injury- but being busy actually compensated by making me rather happy. And getting mail, too. That makes me happy. :)
Gotta get back to it...
