"DGB454"Thanks guys. Not sure how he tore it. It may have been during lifting.
I think everything will work out OK.

I know it sounds selfish but I hate that he won't be out there this year making me proud. I'm proud of him even if he doesn't play but the joy of seeing him out there doing his thing on the field is a feeling I can't describe.
He may only have this season and next year to play so every season is precious to me. Like I said..I know that sounds selfish but I can't help it.


Thanks again.

Not to get on a soap box, but st least you have the chance to see your at least try out for the team.

I get to see my son watch kids play, run, jump etc, and have him ask why can't the doctors fix his muscles to where he can do that stuff

I may sound like I am being an a@@...... I am not triyng to be one..Just trying to put things in perspective..

Just know that your son is a lucky one and I would give my left arm and leg to have the chance for my son to even get a chance to try out..

That has got to be so hard LTF.
I can not even comprehend what you have to face every single day.
One of the toughest things for me to endure was when I watched my son run a cross country race in extreme pain.

He could see that I was determined to pull him out of the race when he got to me.
When I looked into his eyes I saw him pleaded with me to let him continue.
I just let him run on past.
Ended up practically carrying him from the finish line to the awards area.
We went to a Dr and got him orthotics.

You live with it every day.

My roommate just tore his meniscus, ACL and MCL while playing volleyball about 3 weeks ago. It's a re-aggravated football injury from when he tore his ACL back in college.

I hope your sons injury is as small as a meniscus tear. If it's more, he's in for 6-8 months of physical therapy and, according to my buddy, never being able to function 100% on an athletic level. I asked him how pro sports players were able to come back 100% and his answer was that they have the money and time to obtain around the clock care/therapy and "Pros are good enough to play well when their bodies are only at 70% or less."

Don't mean to be Debbie Downer. Just putting my limited knowledge on the table

FYi he is not with me EVERY day, me and his mom have joint placement

During summer months he is with me a lot...

Once school starts he is with me mostly on weekends unless he has off or is sick..

Sorry to hear about your son!
I've been through that, my oldest son had that issue as did my nephew.
My son after his surgery went on to win a state wrestling title and my nephew now wrestles for the University of Michigan.
Your son is young, it will all work out.

I knew that from our prior conversations.
I am sure you still think about him and his situation nearly every day and that is good enuf for me.

Any big swelling, or can not bear any weight on it?

Well that's good to hear that some have no ill effect after surgery.
How long was the physical therapy?

At the moment he is regulated to waterboy till we get the results.

I hope it's small. Sounds like he's got quite the athletic future ahead of him. 4.7 40 at 16? Wow! I played DB and ran track... and my best 40 was 4.8. *old man voice* Ran a hell of a 400m back in my day though!

Best of luck to him.
