I think it sucks a million that people in the richest country in history are allowed to sue everything that moves and recieve uncapped settlments that insurance companies must pay out, therefore driving up the cost of insurance for the rest of us to the point that most people can't afford it. Just remeber, we are all entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of settlements.
Oh yeah, sorry bout the knee. I tore my ACL in May and just went in for surgery a few weeks ago only to find out that the ligament reattached itself well enough to avoid a replacement. The only advice I could give would be rest it and avoid almost all physical activity for a few months, it apparently worked for me.
