so while i wait for my follow up appointment, ill share a little of what's going on.

for my birthday in early january, i took a couple friends up to lake tahoe and went snowboarding for 3days straight. i was DEAD tired afterwards, chilled out for a day, when mitch wanted to skate. so we took the boat out and later that night when i was home i felt a weird pull in my left knee.

it's been almost a month now, so i went to the doctor's yesterday. took some xrays, and had a stress test. MCL, ACL, and PCL are all fine. after the stress test he said that i didnt completely test positive for a torn meniscus but that there was a chance, so i went in for an MRI.

i just got home and concluded that if i have to get surgery im going to try to wakeskate and/or snowboard everyday i dont have class for a week before surgery, assuming i cant make it worst.

bottom line im glad it's winter but injuries suck, especially when they have the potential to sit you out for an entire season.

stay healthy!

ollieshuvitz, yeah, I just realized the cloud cover is total buzzkill as far as star trails are concerned, but we can probably do some light painting like in that thread I posted in non-wake Cool

If you do need surgery, stay off it because you can definitely make it A LOT worse. A meniscus snip that takes 6 weeks tops to recover from is way better than an ACL reconstruction that takes 6 months.

Yea if it is just your meniscus they will most likely just cut off the torn piece and you can walk on it in a couple days. If you push it while it is injured you could do more damage to the other ligaments. I was in the same boat, and am still regretting my decision.

update

so i just got back from the doctor's and he concluded "you can have your fun, but keep an eye on it and if it starts to hurt more or swell i want you to come in"

the outer part of my knee is fine in the MRI, no white lines (tears). the inner part of my meniscous has a faint, small white line that the radiologist was a little concerned with. the doctor said that as long as the pain isnt bothering me i should be fine, i basically have to take it easy.

no hitting the gym though(according to the dr, even though i havent been anyway hah)...i probably wont snowboard for a while either, since it's more intensive because im strapped in.

should be good to go for wakeskating/surf! im stoked!
