Time to cowboy up

campgottagopee
Just about this time tomorrow morning they'll be wheeling me in to give me a new knee. I'm soooooooo ready to get this done and on the road to recovery. All this hobbling around, not being able to do squawdooosh is for the birds.

HPD and I were both unable to ski this year at WF......we have some making up to do next year

Well, if you had to miss a season, I guess this was a good one to miss!  Hope your surgery and recovery go well!

Best of luck with the surgery, and just remember ... Pain is weakness leaving the body!

Ahh i now recall that you hurt your knee - good luck.  I didn't realize that you didn't ski that day.  Without skiing your trip to the DAKs must have been an epic drink fest.  Nothing makes a bum knee feel better than a beer or 10.

Best advice i can give you is listen to the PT folks and work hard at rehab.
if You French Fry when you should Pizza you are going to have a bad time

Good Luck Camp!  Smart move going in now.  You'll be riding a bike by June!  Cutting sports come August and rock solid to ski by Nov!  

Do the PT like your chasing the monster buck of all time!

Make sure you have them write as many painkiller scripts as you can.  They always come in handy down the road:)

Good luck man.  I've had my left acl done twice.  Its no picnic but you can get back.

Campi, borrow a smart phone so you can facebook in the recovery room.  Keep hitting that button.  That was a fun day for me.  The next couple..not so much.   And remember there is no crying in the recovery room.

Camp-man. You are probably fully engaged to a morphine drip by now but just in case, make sure your doc signs his name on the correct knee. Mine did and it made me feel a lot better. I had my knee done April 1, 2010 and was skiing carefully, with a brace, the next season. Skied this season without the brace and never felt the need for it.

Enjoy the ride!

I may have shared this with you before but just in case:
