Toasted my summer that hasn't even started yet

Ick, what are the side stitches for?

My guess would be my MCL and PLC reconstruction as well as harvesting my hamstring which was used for my MCL.

Oh I split my meniscus in half too, that could also be why I have the two incisions on either side of me knee. Forgot about that repair.

Sweet Jesus... that looks horrific! Hope you heal quickly!

ACL, MCL, PLC, and meniscus reconstruction and I'm back at it (limited of course) at 5 months post op. Hard to surf the glass, but its great physical and mental therapy! Might have a summer after all. Wakeboarding will have to till next year.

Ugh.. Where's your brace?

Still pretty large around the knee cap and sides for a final brace measurement. I had a case of tendonitis from my petellar where they harvested for my ACL that I'm still battling.

I wear my brace even surfing, I twisted it last year attempting 360s. The board stayed put while the knee twisted.

Keep up with the rehab, this year I got a private trainer, someone that knows what they're doing. My knee and legs are super strong. Should've done that during the rehab..

Glad to see you back on the water. Take it easy for a while-- come back strong.

I would wait till next year to wakeboard. I worked hard on my rehab and at 7 months the doctor said I was stronger than when I tore it up and did not need a brace and I could start wakeboarding. I sprung my knee the first wake to wake jump I did. I showed the doctor a video of me riding when I blew my knee out and than he finial decided I need a knee brace.
It was a sick feeling when I sprung it I though I tore it up again and I was thinking I was going to go through hell again.
