Knee Update 2

Back in January I injured my knee playing indoor ultimate and made a big fuss about it in this post. Six months later and my knee was still not back to full strength. Whenever I cut hard I risked straining it again and having it swell up for 4-5 days and losing all flexibility until it finally got back to "normal." A few weeks ago I went to a sports medicine specialist, took x-rays and chatted with him a while about what has been going on. Turns out I have a torn (partially) ACL in my left knee and require reconstruction surgery. Crap. I've continued playing on my summer league team and have only one game left for the season. I will be resting for fall, winter and probably next summer until I can fully heal from surgery - about six months. First, I need to get a job with proper health insurance as the shit coverage I have now would most definitely not cover my surgery and recovery. And that won't happen until October at the earliest when I return from the Superior Hiking Trail.

Here's hoping for one finaly knee injury free ultimate frisbee game!
