An accomplishment, event, or realization that sparked a period of personal growth and a new understanding of myself or others was when I had my knee issues and surgery.
What Happened
-
Originally it was thought to just be shin splints and tendinitis, but the doctors wanted to run more tests
X-rays revealed what looked to be a crack in the bone, next to a slightly different colored object in the bone

-
The doctor had no idea what it was or could be so he sent the results out to several other doctors and they were all stumped
The results ended up getting sent to a bone tumor specialist who worked in the cancer center at U of M
I had an appointment scheduled to meet with the bone tumor specialist to discuss what it was and what the steps to fix it were
The appointment lasted 3 hours and by the end we decided surgery would happen and then a biopsy would be run to determine if it was cancerous or not
I had surgery on June 13th, 2016. It was originally scheduled for May 31st, but I got sick two weeks before and the steroids I had to take would have put me at risk going under, so it got postponed.
The surgery went well. The biopsy came back negative. I was walking in about 3 and a half weeks and was back to full contact/impact activity around mid August.
What I learned
