Surgery Day
Part two of my ACL diary begins with the surgery itself.
I had a very talented and uncharacteristically caring surgeon in Dr Jonathan Bell at Wimbledon Clinics.
Not bad going for a fairly major operation.
- The same goes for doing your physio immediately.
Immediately after the operation, I could crutch around and bear weight on the injured leg.
I was certainly feeling dozy/sick during the daytime the first few days.
Im sure that didnt help the process.
In my head, their lives continued and I felt, rightly or wrongly, instantly forgotten.
Im also a generally goal-oriented person and who is very poor at doing nothing.
The only thing I really watched was, you guessed it, skiing.
Essentially, I had perfect storm conditions for a mental shitshow and so it proved.
As skiers go, I think my traits are fairly normal.
I cant say Ive actually achieved any kind of resolution here.
My results have been good.
That is something that can be easily dealt with over the coming months, however.
The wounds have healed nicely, the graft feels solid and the swelling is mostly gone.
