Sounds really painful. I think. Hope you get better soon.

Whats an ACL? That sounds pretty bad 🙁

bad?

It's not actually that painful. More painful is the knowledge that
this requires surgery and quite a few months of rehab. =(

ouch. thats bad. i wish you a speedy recovery and hope it doesnt stop
your geology too much though it probably will. will you need surgery to
repair it? my mum said something about they use part of the hamstring
tendon to replace the ACL because they have the same properties. keep
us updated 🙂

edit: just saw your post saying it needs surgery. a family friend of
mine that plays hockey tore her ACl and she has been told she cannot
play competitively for a year.

Well, I can no longer say I've ridden for 20 years and never got hurt
despite lots of falls. On the weekend I tried to gap onto a steep
slope above a drop, lost control, and piled up below the drop tangled
in my uni. If I hadn't got tangled, it probably would have been OK.

But the result is a completely torn ACL, and a tear through the
posterior horn of the medial meniscus.

This sucks!

Kris

Dang, that's a tough break. I suppose it was inevitable; your ability
to fall gracefully is legendary, but at some point the law of averages
(and the aging of joints) has to catch up to us. Was there a lot of
pain when it happened?

What kind of prognosis are they giving you? ACL and meniscus both take
a while; 3-6 months before resuming activity, 9-12 months before full
function, something like that?

I suppose that'll give you time to train for Ride the Lobster; big
wheel riding is probably one of the easier things to do with a blown
ACL.

I'll miss riding with you at CMW; hopefully you can be back on one
wheel in time for Moab next year.

I'm sure I speak for all and say Get Well!

If it's all snowy on the North Shore when you get recovered you can
make plans to take a riding vacation in California to get your muni fix
back.

Did the accident happen on the North Shore trails? Were you able to
get back without calling rescue?

That was one of the worst falls I've ever seen. Or felt - the earth
shook a bit under my feet. And you still walked off the trail
("Empress" on Seymour at the North Shore).

Really hoping for the fastest recovery possible!

Ouch, tough break man. I'm sorry you got injured, wish you a speedy
recovery. How did you walk off of Seymour with a torn ACL? I have to
say that's pretty beastly. My uncle broke his leg on Fromme, and had to
crutch himself all... the... way... down...

Get Well Soon

Kris,

Being injured does suck. A broken bone is usually OK after a few
months, but knee parts appear to take much longer.

Let's see; Josh has now been present for two broken backs and now KH
blowing out his knee.

Curious.

Looks like he's trying to take out the competition.

Wow,

Kris,

Best wishes through this inconvenient time with rehab for you and your
family.

Contact Scott Wallis about the torn ACL. He's the master of comeback
on the ACL. He's like a bionic man - came back stronger, last time I
talked with im about it.

Contact Scott Wallis scott (att) wallisdesign (dott) com

Take Care!!
