So my Aunt Beverly (whose son, my cousin Brian Medlin beat Michael Phelps at swimming when they were really young) is better than a lot of famous UConn athletes when it comes to their ACL's....unlike Caroline Doty, Kalana Greene, and A.J. Price etc. my aunt didn't know that she tore her ACL. She was walking on it like it was nothing for about a week or two until she had a doctor check it out. Once she found out what it was she asked me to find out who fixed the UConn athlete's knees and I informed her that it was Dr. Robert Arciero. When she saw him he told her that she is the lucky 1 percent when it comes to ACL injuries. Apparently her knee muscles were so toned and developed from cycling and activity (she is extremely active) that it supported her knee and prevented pain and swelling.
Apparently Cycling is good rehab for ACL tears btw.
As you can tell I am so proud of any athletic accomplishment by someone in my family.
I have yet to figure out how my dad passed gym. It's really a mystery to my mom, sister and I. I am not that bad of an athlete. Don't get me wrong I'm not amazing, but if you think I can't hold my own against the average person your wrong. I have also cylced 60 miles in a day...I should get some credit for that.
