Hey y'all!
My MRI's came back negative for tendon or meniscus tears! Yeehaw. Apparently I have some pretty significant edema of my patella and femor which is causing the pain, swelling, and immobility. That basically means I have one hades of a bruise from the trauma but that it should subside on its own. I do have some chondral fissuring, in other words the injury tore loose some cartilage that covers the bone but the damage is pretty small > 1cm and won't require surgery. Treatment: 4 weeks of PT 3x per week and lots of vitamin I.
I'm a happy man. SYOTR in June.

Flailing offside since 2000!
Wonderful!
That's really great news to hear ! You'll be fine in short order. Definitely ice the knee (twice a day), and follow up with the PT. You will be c-boating soon .
