Well, I wished I'd chosen donor graft, as
I now have a 4 inch long scar running down
my knee....but to be honest...I wish I
hadn't had the ACL repair done at all. I
was a high school athlete, and my mother
convinced me to have the surgery. Little
did I know that life after sports does not
require side-to-side movement all that
often.
