Replying to Coping with the fact that Your season might be over?

So yesterday i went skiing at a small rundown hill. (It was ski free day)and it was really icey as usual in maine and i was just skiing not even in the park when i hooked my edge on a turn and my upper body kept turning torquing my knee. I am afraid to go to the docs in fear of hearing those dreadful words "torn ACL" but i dont think i can aviod it for ever. I'm hoping its no more than a MCL sprain or a meniscus tear but you never know. So my question to you NS is how did you cope when you where told your season was over?
