I Got Surgery

hey everyone, just bored cuz i got surgery tuesday...i had my ACL repaired....and wew is it sore....and of course it has been the most beautiful days out these past few days, and i cant get out to detail or take any pictures...grrrr...so if anyone has any questions about photography or anything like that ..ask away because i am bored...:mounty:

 

Good to hear that you are okay.


What did you do to your ACL..( if you dont mind me asking)

 

Whats ACL?

 

i tore it when i was a freshman in highschool playing football and i just got surgery 6 years later lol

 

I thought you tore it taking pictures!

 

Heal well!

 

Ouch...ACL is a nasty injury. Glad to see that you are ok...

 

sorry tohear about the acl. i have heard thats not fun.. but just think of how much better lfe will be when its fixed..

I hope the revocey is quick.. but untill then you have DB to entertain you

 

haha thanks guys

 

Hay man sorry to hear you are laid up right now.. acl is nothing to mess with, bit I am sure I dont need to tell you...

What happened?

 

hey dude i come visit you and even detail the stang and x-box!!!

 

ACL ACL>...argh LOL I just finished anatomy...anterior cruciate ligament? Why wait 6 years later?

 

Glad to know you are well! Take the recovery process seriously! I have a buddy that is seriously into martial arts that needed a second ACL surgery because he didn't take his recovery process seriously! So take care and follow Dr's orders! Best of luck!

 

i waited because i had to wait for my growth plates to heal and i just didnt have the time to do it...but i am deff. taking the recovery seriously...i am doing physical therapy and taking good care of it...i made good progress at pt today

 

Hope it heal well and take the docs advice ... Ive just been in and had both Knees sorted (Medial meniscus) ....bit sore still after 3 weeks but they are getting better

 

wow how did I miss this thread...hope your doing well and like everyone has said take the time recomended to heal...I know a bunch of my soccer friends who have had some major re-construction on there legs (knees, ancles..ect..ect..) and man it's some serious stuff, you don't realise how important little parts of your legs are till you do some serious damage to them.

I've played soccer (the real name is football :thumb) all my life I've been very fortunet (knock on wood) that I've never seriously injured my self now that I think of it I've only roled my left ankle once...don't know what's worse rolling an ancle or breaking it some people say braking it is better but heck they both sound painfull to me...any who hope you get better and I'm going to hit you up with some questions with regards to taking pictures but I feel I should do more reading first before I start asking silly questions.

So how long is the recovery?

 

ya it really is amazing what how little things make such a big diffrence...i started physical therapy yesterday and i couldnt even lift my leg...now today at PT i lifted my leg 30 times and did 3 times as many exersizes...i go back to the doctor january 2nd to see if i can walk without my brace...total recovery is 6 months..thanks for everones regards...and Nica..ask away..photography isnt easy...so any question can help

 

Okay I got a question...kind a dumb question but I'm going to ask it anyways. What is the best technique to reduce blury pictures...with out using a tri pod? How do you position your hand, feel, shoulders..ect..ect..there is a technique to it, I'm sure I've seen it but now that I'm really interested on improving my picture taking skills I can't remember how the pro's position them selves.

Well that is the first question, many more to come eace:

 

honestly...if it is a shot where you can get down on ur butt and have ur knees up in the air...and feet on the ground...and you can steady the camera on your knee...that helps for me...also..cary a bag of rice with you and you can even put the bag of rice on ur knees or anything ..and put the camera on top of the bag of rice..the rice absorbes alot of the vibration..and use the timer on the camera...it will help alot...let me know if that works out for ya

 

If I was there I would snatch the bag of rice from u and cook it just kidding! That's pretty smart though...
