Aquarium :1 Mike :0

Well my new 180g finally came in this thursday... I was excited about getting it into the house, My good friend jesse convinced me there was no sense waiting for more people to carry it as we're both strapping young lads, needless to say we should have waited...
As I stepped off the tailgate of my truck, my knee went in a direction it was not designed to go. After two hours of (being a man about it) I decided (was forced) to go to the ER. 4 excruciating hours later I was sent home with a smile (from the drugs) not only did I get my Aquarium I also recieved a knee brace, a pair of crutches, a script for vicodin and a tear in my ACL...
Now I have to lay here looking at an empty tank...

Ouch, that sucks. On the bright side, you'll have some time to plan everything better now...

Take 2 vicodin and stare intensly at the tank, it won't seem so empty.

hey man some good anti-inflamatories, keep leg elevate and rest and in no time you'll be up and running again, have your knee checked again when better and follwed up to be 100% ok.
