I should win a copy of Victoria 2 because I've been a loyal fan of Paradox games for years and I've recently had a major surgery.
On Monday, August 30th I got surgery on my right knee for very severe patellar tendinitis. I've had patellar tendinitis for about three years now and my tendon's degenerated to the point where my day to day life is impacted. I play sports so you can imagine how difficult this has made things. A surgery in March was ineffective and a follow up MRI showed severe damage. In the most recent surgery, surgeons had to graft part of my hamstring to my tendon to prevent a rupture once I return to sports.
As of right now, I am looking at six weeks of using crutches and 4-6 months of physical therapy. I'm in terrible pain unless I take 10mg of Oxycodone every three hours, I'm missing an entire week of school (probably more, not sure yet), and I haven't got out of bed since I got home from the hospital. In addition, I'm missing my entire season of football, I'm down several thousand dollars, and I'm facing a very painful and difficult rehab.
As you can imagine I don't have any money to spend on this great game and the only hobby I'll have for the next few months is videogaming, and I really want Vicky 2 to be a part of that!
Picks of my knee and hairy legs
