Tear your LCL so you've got all the major ligaments in the knee taken care of.

learn to cook. fun and productive, seeing as a time will come where you'll have to feed yourself and possibly your family 3 times a day. unless you're a loser and never move out of your rents' place...

Whenever I'm injured I get into making hemp shit. (Sounds lame but it keeps you occupied and I got pretty good at it and would sell stuff for some nice $$$$.)

That or my friend learned how to knit/crochet custom beanies and made a killing doing that for people. He is super good at it now... can put a fleece liner on the inside or put stash pockets on the inside.

+vibes for the injury!!
I'm just getting my 2nd acl surgery in less than a year on Thursday so I feel ya! But what I got into during injury time was lots of sewing and cooking. Sounds really girly, but trust me! Once you can start to make stuff like tiramisu and merengues it is sooo worth it
