My Anniversary!

ACL transplant surgeries hurt and that is just the way it is.

In hindsight, the quick single in that Project Management vs. IT Servces cricket match seems like a silly idea.

A year ago the key takeaways from my ‘prep’ talk at the surgeon’s office were not encouraging:

• The ACL does not forgive!
• A three hour surgery with some bespoke tunneling between my femur and the tibia, an autograft transplant and a bunch of resistance screws to hold everything together, should do it!
• I’ll be walking in four months, playing squash again, next year.

Happy to report that I’m walking now, mostly without pain.
My beef with ACL transplant surgery: I still can’t play squash. And, the darned metal detectors have started beeping near my knee!!!  :-)

It will be a quiet celebration; a cake, a candle and some painkillers!
