So get this...

As stupid as my ACL injury is, I heard a better story, yesterday.

There are a lot of ACL injuries at the clinic where I go for therapy. Mostly football and basketball players. Some professionals, others who are just generally athletic, but all are in their mid-twenties (which is kinda interesting, statistically).

A little further along in his recovery than myself, is a massive Turkish man, about my age. He must be close to seven feet tall, and he is a husky fella, probably weighing over 350 pounds. He is clearly not an athlete.

We had to share an elevator yesterday, and it felt like a very small small space. I swear he was ducking to fit inside.

He tore his ACL (same ligament and same right knee as mine) about a month before I did. We were chatting about our injuries, and after explaining how mine had happened, he began to relay his story.

So get this, the kid tore his ACL playing virtual ping pong on his Nintendo Wii.

WTF!?!
