Gut punch news

As many of y'all know, I battled a shoulder rotator cuff tear the better part of the last year which I successfully managed to recover from after surgery and PT. This evening, I received news in the form of the radiologist review that I have a lateral meniscus tear in the front, back, and sides as well as a torn ACL and a meniscus tear. I messaged my Physical Therapist who I’ve become friends with over the rehab of my shoulder and her response was “Curious if they’ll wanna do a repair to opt for a knee replacement?”

Gentlemen, I’m at a loss right now. I know that surgery is likely, but I have to admit that for one of the few times in my life, I’m scared. I’m not looking for sympathy or playing the “woe is me” card, I needed to get this out because I’ve kinda just shut down emotionally this evening to everyone, plus I’m currently on vacation and the life has been sucked out of me. Thank you for letting me get this off my chest.
