IR: Dr. Jekyll.......I don't know......

So we return to the doctor's off for my post op appointment and man was this guy very different from before. He was in a very good mood and was very informative. We told him that we are not too concerned with workers comp possibly covering the torn ACL surgery because we would just work on getting it covered under our own insurance, which we let him know that he was not on. He then stated that he was on it and almost immediately left the room to look up online to confirm he was on it and he was. Even gave us a copy of the page from the insurance site.

It was also so odd that he even stood/sat next to me while talking to me. Before he seemed very distant. Jenny and I just found him just very weird or he was just happy that Friday was here. I don't know.

Either way the surgery was confirmed to have gone well. He showed us some pictures of my knee with the loose cartilage and the torn ligament (COMING SOON). He and the radiologist feels that the torn ACL is an old and sports related injury and they strongly believes that workers comp will not cover it, but he also feels that I may be able to return to work in full force without the ACL, but we shall see after 2 months of recovery from this past surgery.

I have 2 weeks of PT coming up so continue to wish me luck. I hope to return to work soon.

At least I'm off the crutches now!!!!!
