Certified Ski Diva
Going in next week. I know I am in good company as the Ski Diva's are no strangers to torn ACL's. Back in January on good ole' Cannon I tore my ACL, Meniscus and my MCL. Yay! Then I skied on it for the rest of the season cause, well after all the that I was pretty much doomed to surgery any way so why the hell not enjoy the season?
I have been doing PT since then and finally got the go ahead for surgery. Never mind the waiting list to get in with this particular surgeon was also a mile and a half long and specializes in ACL. So now I need some advice. I need to know from some ACL veterans what to expect? I keep reading about donor grafts but not about too many ladies going with the Patella tendon surgery? My OS recommended this one in particular because of the strength and I was very adamant I did NOT want to be back in this position again if at all possible.
Did I mention I only have a week off from work? This makes me a little nervous but I ride a desk on the daily. So I am hoping I can make it bad without too much trouble. Its the day to day that I am worried about. I have kids, a dog, a husband (who's like a bigger kid). This is when I wish I had a sister wife to take over...
