On top of not being able to ski, you can't walk for several weeks, you have to go through the pain of stretching and gaining mobility before surgery, only to have get cut up and PT the shit out of it AGAIN, take a bunch of shitty drugs, sit on your ass and watch your friends go to and from the mountains climbing, skiing, biking hiking for six months while you sit around at home.
And yet, neither I, nor AlexG, nor seemeski, nor most of the other people that have hurt themselves this year have complained about it.
I'm not ripping on the thread creator. People can't appreciate what it's like being hurt until they are, and it sucks. If he had broken a collarbone when he tore his knee he would be skiing by now. He has the right to be frusterated
