Last March, l had an ACL reconstruction and meniscal repair/removal (medial was repaired, lateral was removed). The recovery was a year long and I was looking forward to returning to sports this spring.
On my way to work two weeks ago I was rear ended twice by the same driver, which resulted in 4 herniated discs. I haven’t been to work since the accident. I don’t know if I’ll need surgery on my back. Also I’m having nerve issues so I have to see a neurologist.
Oh and I’m 24 in April.
EDIT: if you’re wondering how I was hit twice by the same driver.
First impact-> I stopped braking to minimize damage-> roll forward and brake again-> second impact.
The guy who hit me was most likely on his phone. Don’t text and drive folks.

At 24 I was were you are now minus the herniated discs. Good luck and I hope you get better soon.

Since I had my lateral meniscus repaired I have to wait at least a year to return to sports. At least that’s what my ortho said to me
Manbob456
Fuck, I mean Medial meniscus. I keep mixing them up

Twice??? How do you get rear ended Twice by the same driver?
Manbob456
After he hit me I let off the brake to minimize damage, when I stopped the car after rolling a bit he hit me again. He was in shock

When I was seventeen and about to go home after an open heart surgery I caught a stomach flu.
Manbob456
God damn, why’d you need open heart at 17?
Eabus
Because the previous surgery to replace the infected prosthetic valve, put in one more surgery before, did not fully remove the infection.
Manbob456
Damn infected prosthetics are a bitch due to the possibly presence of a biofilm. I hope your current valve is doing a better job!
Eabus
Well I haven't needed any surgeries for 7 years.
Manbob456
Well that’s wonderful!
