thebookpileMy triumphant return to football, due today, has been delayed until next spring or summer.
I had a minor setback a month ago and at my 1-year post-operation check-up today, it was confirmed: while the new ligament is strong, there is a problem with the meniscus (which acts as a shock absorber in the knee). Now, that's not too bad; there's a chance that it will settle down without intervention if I refrain from certain activities. However, regardless of whether it fixes itself or not, it means that I need to go in for another MRI, which will take some waiting (and it's non-urgent, so I'm not on the ultra-fast CHEO list like last time). That means that I'll likely have it in the winter (January-March).
The good news is that if they determine that surgery is required, the operation is much less invasive than my previous ACL repair, and recovery is much quicker.
