Well, I wished I'd chosen donor graft, as I now have a 4 inch long scar running down my knee....but to be honest...I wish I hadn't had the ACL repair done at all. I was a high school athlete, and my mother convinced me to have the surgery. Little did I know that life after sports does not require side-to-side movement all that often.

Let us know how it goes.
