Default Fark. Just found out my twisted knee is a torn ACL.

Tore it in Park City couple of weeks ago. Got better quick, but then stopped progressing. MRI tells the story. Fark. I was hoping for rehab.

Default Ouch! sorry to hear that. I miss Park City I lived in Utah for 5 years.

Hopefully you got in some skiing before you tore it.

Default Some skiing before and after... I thought it was a sprain and taped it.

Very happy I didn't do any additional damage, dumbass. :-/

Default i finished off the 20% left that i had when i got dumped from a horse again..

sold the horse cause i thought i wouldn't be able to ride for 6 months after replacement.. was back riding 4 months after surgery. used my hamstring for a replacement. didn't want a cadaver and be cause of the riding didn't want to weaken the patella tendon. having had 2 previous surgery's on the knee, this one sucked cause they kept it immobile for the full 6 weeks. the others, 1st was like 2 weeks, 2nd i went directly from the hospital to rehab.. that was fun.. not!
good luck with it..

Default Wow... but thanks.

This'll be my third knee 'scope', the other two were meniscus problems(sp?)-- and on the other knee. This was my "good" knee.

Default So...you may not be able to drive a stick for a couple of weeks....

I have an extra spot in the garage if you want me to keep the S4 for ya ;-)

Sorry about the knee. That sucks but at least it didn't ruin your vacation.

Default Not sure what I'm looking at but.... squeamish!

Do they tie the new ligament in with screws? Lord, I'm becoming more bionic every year. :-/
