CptSlow 0 Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 I haven't been on line for a wee while bit a bit sad in my neck of the woods. Got results from MRI and they were far from good. Confirmed my ACL complete tear, meniscus tear and also just to top it off a small tear in my medial ligament. So both knees match now, go me. No snow for me this season and depending on when i get the OP prob not next year either. I guess at least i busted my self in Japan, makes the story a bit cooler i guess.

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Never thought I would say it, but it is a quicker recovery from a nasty broken leg! #3 son rode at Thredbo in July, severely broke his leg in August, and was cruising the POW in Hakuba in mid January - not only did he NOT miss a season, he did not miss a Northern OR SOuthern season. Pretty good going. However Papabear, with his ACL repair wrote off 12 months. The good news CptSlow is that Papa's knee is as strong as it ever was. You will get there. Just keep talking snow, and rehab for snow, and the time will pass quickly Link to post Share on other sites
SKI 15 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Sorry to hear that CptSlow. Keep us updated and hoping for a quick recovery! Link to post Share on other sites
Ezorisu 0 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 That's unfortunate. Well, good luck with the operation and I hope the recovery and physio goes smoothly. Out of curiosity, is your previously repaired other knee back to "100%", or do you have any lingering issues with it? Link to post Share on other sites
cal 6 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 We would be better off if knees were made a bit stronger I feel. That, and if moguls didn't exist. Link to post Share on other sites
gnarly-dude 1 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 My knees are actually starting to give me a bit of grief this year, actually before winter came. Have held off going to some nasty doctor type as it isn't real pain but it hasn't cleared up and so I might just do that. You're right though knees should be made stronger! When I see some of them wiggly skies doing the moguls. Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 gnarly-dude, don't put it off (says she of the impossible to take her own advice). It might be an easy fix - a physio might be the best solution. For me, a tight ITB was causing my patella to track wrong which left me in a world of knee pain - for YEARS. Now that I keep the ITB "reasonable" it is something that bothers me only occasionally. Worth the effort! Link to post Share on other sites
