Season is over

Hawkshot99 · Feb 12, 2008

2 weeks ago I had a bad crash in a skiercross race at Sundown. Hurt my knee pretty bad. Had a MRI this past Friday, and just got home from the doctor. He said my ACL is torn....

He is hoping to have surgery next Friday. I hope that my knee is recovered enough by September, as i was planning on entering the Police Academy.

So enjoy the snow that is about to hit us southerners.

Damn! That sucks. I'm so sorry that happened to you, especially at my local hill. Get better and come back next season stronger than ever. Glad I had the chance to ski with you briefly this year...

Very sorry to read this. Here's to a succesful surgery and a swift recovery!!

Yeah all the best to you man, that sucks. All the best for a quick recovery.

ssudha17 · Feb 12, 2008

Ohh man!! Thats terrible. All the best for a speedy recovery.

That really does suck!!! Good luck with the surgery and PT.

That's a drag. Here I am, whining beacuse I have no time to ski this season. I can officially shut up now. I have nothing to complain about.

Good luck with the surgery and work the PT as hard as you can. Come back strong.

Heal up..good luck becoming a cop..I'd become a cop just to have a few minutes in the evidence room :lol:

Really sorry for your accident. I have also torn my ACL a couple of weeks ago and awaiting my surgery in about a month. So, I know how you feel. Hopefully, we both will be skiing next season after full recovery.

MRGisevil · Feb 12, 2008

Oh noes! Good luck and early-congratulations on a speedy and full recovery!

Damn... I was just going to say that's the second one in about as many weeks. Really sorry to hear that, man.
Sounds like your surgery timetable is pretty aggressive. That's good. I had to wait 5 weeks as I had broken both bones in my lower leg as well, and needed the swelling to go down. If its any consolation, My surgery was on March 20th, and I was back on the hill December 15th. You shouldn't have too much trouble with the Academy. Worst case you may have to wait until the next go-round, but you're a young guy. Keep-up with the PT, and hit the gym ASAP.
If you have any questions about the surgery, types of grafts etc.. recovery whatever... Feel free to PM me if you want. It sucks but it sure as hell ain't the end-of-the-world.

Nice words. And really great coming from you. It seems like it wasn't that long ago you had your accident (I guess it wasn't - about one year ago, huh?)

Shit that sucks Hawk. Sorry to hear that.

Well my family supports this doctor very well. We have bought him some nice cars over the years.:uzi: My dad had his tenth surgery with him last week, my sister has had several with him as well, so we get pushed to the front of his lines.

I need to go to therapy before the surgery to get the fluid to drain out of the knee, and get rid of a bit of swelling.

Thanks!

Yep, one year ago yesterday, as a matter of fact. Funny thing was, I didn't think about it at all until I got to the gym and was doing Quad extensions. Everything felt fine, but there's always that little reminder to put the weight about 15-20lbs lower on the right side. :lol:
