Your teenie tiny scar will forever remind you of the pain you've already encountered & your future rehab headaches, soreness, severe pain, swelling, constant discomfort, bad TV shows, boredom, reading old newspapers, begging people to come visit you, and,, drinking while taking painkillers!!!!! I have the big boy ACL scar, the kind that was done with a dull butterknife, chewing on a bullet, and whiskey. It was done in an open field, mid-combat, with a midwife present. Good luck in your rehab. Drink heavily. Better check your pain medication dosage-- your mom likes her wine. Katie,

I never heard so much whining in my life. You must live near Wrigley Field. 2. Co-ed soccer? Do you think maybe God was trying to tell you something? 3. If Amy really were a friend, she'd BRING you magazines, not tell you to put them next to you. Consider finding new friends. 4. Not me. 1. I never heard so much whining in my life.
