Junior year in high school, during a football game, my femur was fractured and my MCL was torn completely off the bone.

The femur was just a hairline crack, so it didn't need a cast, but I had to have surgery on my MCL.

I will say this, their were only 2 bad parts about it. 1) The nervousness before the surgery, and then 2) the rehab afterwards.

For the first 2-3 weeks after surgery I was hopped up on morphine (at the hospital) and then Loritabs after that, so I didn't feel very much, and I don't remember much. About the only thing I remember from my downtime was watching the Price is Right and playing some kind of handheld video game.

But I will say this, if you have to do rehab, the worst part for me was the electric shock thing they used to keep the rest of the muscles in my leg toned. Once I got done with that, rehab was pretty much just lifting weights.

Though I have complete use of my leg and knee now (and went on to play my senior season) my knee has never felt the same.
