Yet another knee thread(wife's)

[laseranimal]

As many of you know my wife hurt her knee Sunday at Sugarbush. Grade 3 ACL with avulsed tibia. Basicly she pulled the bone off of her tibia We've already seen a Doc and are in the process of scheduling an MRI to assess the complete damage. She seems to be getting better every day as the swelling eases. She's really scared about having surgery/rehab since she's never had anything like this. She may or may not poke her head in her to read some of the threads on knees but if some of you guys/girls can take her through what she's in for over the next 4-8 weeks both of us would apreciate it. I personally am interested to hear about your experiences pre-surgery through rehab so that even if she doesnt' read anything here(she thinks we're all nuts ) I'll be able to relay the info to her.

Thanks tons maggots
