Replying to Tore my ACL

i think its probably the most common ski-related injury, and i did it while biking. i'm getting surgery in a couple weeks, and the doc says recovery takes 6 months. hopeful i'll be healed by the time some of the mountains open. theres gotta be some people on here that have torn their ACLs, any advice? i'm probably going to do the thing where they take some of my hamstring. that 6 months is just killer though, i was gonna be biking all summer and now i get to spend it on crutches.
