Injury Update
13 years ago
Just got back from the orthopedic specialist and, well, there's good news and there's bad news.
Good news: the fragment of bone that was found in the X-Ray doesn't need surgery. It'll settle back in place with time and healing, so long as I'm not a dumbass and keep from injuring myself again.
Bad news: I have to have an MRI scan done to make sure that my ACL wasn't torn. Now, I'm not too claustrophobic (I can handle myself so long as I don't have my arms and legs bound - if I'm willingly keeping still, it's no problem) but I'll admit that I always have a bit of trepidation when it comes to being inserted into a giant machine like some sort of quarter push-slot.
Hopefully though, the ACL isn't torn and I won't need any surgery whatsoever. Won't stop me from getting a sword-cane like I've always wanted. How sweet would that be?

They aren't that bad. My main issue with MRI scans is the noise. Surely they will give you headphones and you need only close your eyes and relax.
I have had a panic attack in one when i was in my early teens. But they are not so bad and up here (Being Canada) They sometime prescribe something to help you keep calm so you don't panic.
But I'm not sure where you are from so... That depends if you in the states or not.
I am very sorry to hear that you are injured! Lay down, put your feet up, and watch something cool!
