[pct-l] ACL Blow outs

 Yes Sir Billy Bob, I myself had one of these very things happen  to me. 
Plumb blew out my whole right knee( ACL and the munecus) trying to play 
football in the old timers game! ( Thinking I was still young and 
indestructable) I now am the proud owner of a new ACL thanks to the hamstring 
lingament that was snipped out of the same leg and a couple of stainless 
steel screws. Thank God for treking poles. This was done 10 years ago and the 
repair is still doing fine! Had the big surgery in early Feb. and was 
climbing up to camp Muir in late June. As stated before, hard work and you'll 
be good as new. ( though I would pass on handball and tennis for awhile) 
Thought after I lost that knee I might have to super glue my butt to a kayak 
seat for any outdoor fun. ( Luckily I was wrong) You should be back to speed 
in 4 to 5 months. Good luck Joann.
