Scar on your knee

[janiejoey]

Hi Cathe,

In your workouts, I've noticed a scar on your left knee. May I ask how you got that? From the workouts you do, I'm sure it isn't hurting anymore, but I would love to hear the story about it. How you had to have surgery, how long the recovery time etc...

By the way, I'll be starting HC tomorrow, can hardly wait! The reviews are awesome.

Hope I'm not being too personel,

Janie

Hi Janie! Yes, I severed my ACL about 11 years ago while skiing in Park City, Utah (actually that day we did a day trip to Deer Valley and it was there it happened). They brought me the resort medical building only to be in the company of many who had done the same thing. This turns out to be a very common skiing accident. I flew home and had the repair and then it was a long recovery. While I started to see small progress in 4 months it wasn't until 9 months that I had full recovery and not until a year and a half later that I stopped experiencing slight pangs here and there. I hear they have come far with the technology and treatment for this injury now and that the operation and recovery time is greatly reduced. Again, this is what I heard but don't know this for sure.

Enjoy your workouts
