One week left until i have the knee surgery

Yup, it's only 1 week left until i'm back in sweden and getting the knee surgery. The flight ticket and everything is booked and now i guess i just need to get mentally prepared which is a lot harder than the logistics. I don't like needles or getting shots at all so it will be a bit of a challenge since i'm expecting i'll have something connected or injected for the surgery and anaesthetics. Plus the other challenge will be to rebuilt the leg and the muscles again. It feels a bit like going back to the right after i got injured with the pain and swelling . I will be on crutches for a couple of weeks just as after the accident and then it's pretty much the same rebuilding process... with a rehab expected to be 6 months!!! The whole surgey is taking up more and more of my time mentally. Perhaps this is the closest i'll get to "Grey's Anatomy" in real life haha! Too bad the doctor's wont be singing like in the musical episode!

It may be hard for people to understand my injury since i'm now walking and you cannot see that i'm injured at the moment. I just feel the pain and wacky movement of the legs when walking in stairs, biking, running and working out or just simply when standing still at times. The other psychological challenge is that i cannot play basketball again until next season or do any sport for that matter, including skiing. It really sucks!!! Buhu... I miss playing basketball, the practises and the games! But now I can only focus on the rehab, i know i need to do it for my own best...
