Knee Updates

February 06, 2015 by Adam in Sam

We had some mostly good news about Sam's knee today.  The MRI results came back - he dislocated his knee cap, bruised his knee bone, tore some tissue, and damaged the cartilage a little.  Despite all that, the meniscus is fine and he won't need any surgery.  Next step is physical therapy once a week for a couple weeks and then every other week, returning to the doctor in six weeks.

Sam is thinking about dropping rock climbing, as he's not supposed to twist his knee.  He's also not going to be able to wrestle this season, so I'm not sure if he'll keep going to practice.  It might still be a good time to hang out with his friends, watch them wrestle, and do some upper body workouts and physical therapy.
