Replying to FUCK. blown ACL, blown summer

so ive been kinda bummin lately, as i hurt my knee a few weeks ago, and not skiing have been killin me. was waitin on the MRI to come back, but everyone suggested just some cartilage damage. well, went to the doc yesterday, she comes, in, Chris, i have baad news. you blew your ACL. totally unexpected.

if that doesnt suck enough, i have been planning for roughly a year to spend this summer in NZ skiing. scratch that. ill be lucky if im back in shape by next winter.

also, to anyone whos done it, what route did ya go to replacement? cadaver or rebuilding it? dead people parts sound like the best option for me, but i really dont know.
