I had a similar injury (kind of) and was laid up in bed for several weeks while it healed. I had a bucket-handle meniscus tear and a shattered ACL in my right knee. It was a sports injury, so the first thing that made me depressed (aside from being stuck in bed) was the loss of definition in my legs. They were muscular and wonderful before the injury, and then they just became... normal. :(  Those compression socks are the work of the devil, though. The size medium ones fell off of my leg, but the size small ones required my roommate to help me get them all the way up. I felt very silly and they itched ALL the time.  If you need fun things to do to keep your mind occupied, hit me up! I have about a dozen cool things that were recommended to me when I was recovering. :)
