Hey guys,
Its been a while since I've logged in and posted, so I figured I'd stop by and say 'whats up!'
Some of you may remember my skiing injury in July - I had surgery in September replacing my ACL and PCL, and removing "debris" from my meniscus, as well as "smoothing out" my LCL and MCL. The surgery went well, I started Physical Therapy about 6 weeks post-op and continued 4 hours, 3 days a week until the beginning of January. I'm now doing my own work out and getting ready to get back in the water, hopefully in April. My ACL is rock solid, and my PCL is getting there - it was my choice to have it done, I knew the "success" rates for a PCL replacement were pretty low, but I figured I might as well go for it, as it couldn't be any worse than what I started with, lol. So, I've got 1 more post-op appointment with my surgeon and hope to be "released" to normal life (with a brace for sports for a year or so) in March.
On a lighter note, I've got some sweeeet scars to show off now!
I miss warm weather, this Michigan snow sucks!
