Man Down

Well it looks like the mighty hand of fate has struck down again. I just heard from my orthopedic surgeon about my knee. I was apparantly wrong, and my optimism was naturally misguided to say the least. My entire knee has to be surgically reconstructed. My ACL is completely destroyed, other ligaments and tendons have minor tears. I have torn

Don't fuck with your knee, or you'll end up an old helpless fart a lot sooner than you think. I rushed through the "healing" process with mine in soccer and skiing, and it's still a little bitch to this day. I can feel when it's gunna rain. And it never feels good! SO yeah, please re-think ur macho attitude and rest up a few weeks so you don't end up "on the bench" a hell of a lot longer later on in life.

Oh I completely agree with you. I don't intend to not follow the physical therapy program to a T. I also am not going to be doing anything I'm not supposed to. I'm going to take the same approach as with my abdominal surgery and my shoulder dislocation. That is to dedicate myself to rehabilitation and not half-ass it in the slightest. I will not be participating in sports or doing anything without doctor clearance. Don't confuse rushing with perseverence.
