    Good luck in the recovery, I'd say surgery with that kind of injury is a gimmie. If it does goes down that route, find out who your surgeon is and do some Due diligence on them

    You should probably invest in some bubble-wrap and stop indoors for a couple of years.

    Done already. Just waiting for an appointment and the next steps.

    It’s weird because my leg is so strong (12 months turbo training) - I’ve passed two ligament stress tests from a ski injury specialist in Italy and a knee injury specialist at the spire. It’s only the fact that it keeps feeling unstable - I was sent for an MRI. He was surprised at the extent of the damage.

    Take up knitting & join a “Knit & Natter” group.

    They’re full of non-fussy game birds, which more than makes up for the RSI. Like Tinder but you don’t require a Brad Pitt profile pic.

    Get better, again, pal!

    Wouldn't worry about the ACL & LCL reconstruction, but the FFS reconstruction ...

    I’ve been wearing one since we got back. I’ll have to wear one for a while afterwards as well.

    Repairing ACL using some hamstring. Repairing LCL with donor tendon as he doesn’t like taking more than one piece of hamstring.

    I can’t honestly believe it.
