Robin went and talked to the Dr. again today. They won't do surgery until at least 4 weeks after the initial injury. So she won't get it done until after the trip to WV and she also has to have more range of motion in her knee before they will do it. The ACL is torn badly, there is bruising on knee so that is why she is in so much pain. He gave her some exercises to strengthen the knee and help get a better range of motion. She is supposed to do the exercises twice a day. She can opt not to have surgery but most likely she will have the surgery.
He told her to keep wearing her lovely knee brace which makes walking more comfortable and keeps the knee more stable.

I hope you can enjoy your trip even with a bum leg. I'm a little worried about your plane flight with 3 little kids and one leg. Good luck!
i'm sorry,.. that really really stinks. i wonder why you need to have more range of motion,.. that doesn't really make sense to me,.. oh well.
