Replying to What next?
I’m honestly kind of lost with this thread. Yesterday started out as one of the best ski days of my life where I was skiing at a level I had been working towards for years and had found satisfaction and love for the sport again which had been absent recently. Early yesterday afternoon I took a bad crash when I hooked an edge on a hidden rock in Breck. While tumbling I felt three gut wrenching pops in my knee. When I came to a stop I noticed a dull ache in my leg but otherwise felt fine until I tried to stand and my femur slid backwards basically off the top of my tibial plateau and my knee completely collapsed. After a long ordeal getting off the mountain with ski patrol, I was unsurprisingly informed by the ER I had severe damage to at least my MCL and PCL and possible partial tear to my ACL as well. Currently I’m waiting to get in to see an orthopedic surgeon but I just feel gutted. I had big plans for this year that are now trash with months of PT being the minimum just to get my leg back to a usable level. I know there are a ton of people on here that have gone through the same thing so…. Where do I go from here.
