Jen_Psalms231 Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Hello all, I am sorry that I have been absent from the forum for a while. I am recovering at home. I had my ACL in my right knee reconstructed and some scar tissue removed. Today is the first day that I have felt up to working on miniatures. I am working on making a bed from a "House Of Miniatures" kits. so I will be posting some pics of the newest products when i get some done. I hope all is going well in the mini world. And this letter finds you all well. talk to you soon! Jenna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Hi Jenna! It's great that you're up and about and working on mini things! That is a positive recovery! Good luck on the bed, just don't lie in it! You will be needing to get physical therapy? If so, it's the best thing to happen to you! Makes you heal even faster!

Missymew Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Glad to see you're back. What is ACL? Is your knee terribly sore right now? -Susanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Color Me Holly Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Jenna, I hope your recovery is going well and that you have lots of help. My mom has had surgery on both knees for the same thing. Mini-ing sounds like the perfect recovery activity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uppitycats Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 I hope your recovery is going well! I find mini work a great diversion and easy to manage when parts of your body don't work well, or are in pain. We'll look forward to seeing pictures of your bed.

jeninky Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Glad to see you back on the forum! You are always so cheerful in your posts, I always enjoy reading them! -Susanne this is what I found on ACL ... anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the most important of four strong ligaments connecting the bones of the knee joint. It is often injured. Ligaments are strong, dense structures made of connective tissue that stabilize a joint. They connect bone to bone across the joint. The function of the ACL is to provide stability to the knee and minimize stress across the knee joint: It restrains excessive forward movement of the lower leg bone (the tibia) in relation to the thigh bone (the femur). It limits rotational movements of the knee. A tear to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) results from overstretching of this ligament within the knee. It's usually due to a sudden stop and twisting motion of the knee, or a force or "blow" to the front of the knee. The extent of the tear can be a partial or a complete tear. Individuals experiencing a tear to the ACL may or may not feel a pop at the time of the injury. It is often injured together with other structures inside the knee joint. After the initial injury, the knee may swell and become painful. Instability or a sensation the knee is "giving out" may be a major complaint following this injury. Often, but not always, depending on a person's activity level, a torn ACL needs to be fixed. Unfortunately a simple repair by suturing the torn ligament together again is not effective. A successful repair involves completely replacing the torn ligaments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minis On The Edge Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Hi There Jenna! I am happy to hear that you are on the road to recovery. Every day you'll feel a little bit better than the day before. Listen to your body and most of all your doctors. Sometimes, your body may feel better and you can over do it. Sometimes pain is a better reminder not to over do it. I hope the pain goes away soon and that you are 300% better soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
