Altagirl in Surgery

[Mr. Altagirl]

As I write, AG is in surgery getting a new ACL. With all this new snow and prospects of the year starting off early and with a bang, it's been kinda hard to be super stoked in our house. Hopefully the doctor finds some kind of miracle and doesn't have to replace anything (but the have a graft on hand just in case). Worse case, Altagirl has taken a HUGE hit for the team and this year could be epic. Fingers are crossed, I'll post later once I hear from the doctor.

[mr_gyptian]

good luck to both of you.

[altachic]

Damn...brings back memories.

I hope all turns out ok and that she's into rehab super quick. I have no doubts!

Best of luck to AG, hope to see ya soon!

[Woodsy]

Please Ullr bles the knee of C to heal healthy and strong so she may continue to rippitup like none other.

Yahweh please look down upon her ACL & repair it to beyond its strength before,

If she does need the repair may the Saints Cosmas, Damian, Foillan, Luke the Apostle, and Roch guide the hands of the surgeon to work fast and True,

Jah, ever fearful, ever knowing, I know you have acccepted many of my offereings, look down from on High & bless the work done today.

My fingers, toes and everything in between are crossed for luck. Come on ALTAGIRL!

[Xover]

p.s. are you still gonna bring those sausage, egg and cheese biscuits to the bottom of LCC for us when we are waiting for the gate to open.

Mr. AG - repeat after me "na today wasn't that great; in fact it kinda sucked honey - how was your day". Course if you hang out with Rotney enough this year it all sucks anyway right?? :rolleyes:

Best of luck AG w/ the surgery. I'm hoping it minor and no replacement takes place!!! Get back on the snow soon!

[Karl Stall]

Best of luck, C. At the very least, we'll still do the beer drinking part a few times this winter. Always great to hang with you two!

:)

[stump832]

Good luck AG! We need to have some sort of ACL summit or something, where we all just invade some PT clinic.

[vinzclortho]

Good Luck!! Get that PT going and get back on the hill soon!!

all praises to JahBuddahChristAllah!!!!




oh and since I contributed heavily to the "what should I rent for my post surgery on-the-couch time?" thread.... you should definitely get Blue Crush and I highly recommend Bad Santa!!!!

[freshie247]

Best wishes on a speedy recovery,or the lack of needing one!

[Mr. Altagirl]

Just heard from the Doc, he had to replac the ACL. :(

She's up and talking and hopfully can come home tongiht. I'm on my way back over to the hospital now, thanks for all the good wishes. I'm sure once the drugs wear off she will give a blow-by-blow account.

[Vinman]

Sorry to hear they had to reconstruct. You habe my wishes for a speedy recovery and a smooth rehab resulting in a stronger knee. Good luck.

[skibe]

Sorry to hear they had to go the full 9 yards on your knee. Hope you heal quick AG.

[frozenwater]

First time I ever met C was at Snowbasin, a long time ago - first summit I think. She went FLYING over this rollover and went bigger than anyone. Unfortunately she ate it bigger than anyone as well. Up she sprang and kept skiing hard all day.

I remember thinking what an incridible skier, and girl this was. Nothing can keep her down.

All the best in the world Altagirl!

[Crinkle]

best wishes to AG and a speedy recovery

[freshies]

having never met ya in person, i still feel for ya. My GF had the same proceedure done in early summer (blew ACL last day of the season, had the graft) and she is doing great.

heal up real soon!

[watersnowdirt]

Get better!!!

Mr. AG - buy that girl some Ben and Jerry's from the maggot collective, kay?? And People magazine (everyone says they hate it and that it's crap, but deep down, we all love it ;).

[Buster Highmen]

Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Go after that PT, regain ROM and you'll be up and sking in a blink.

[Endlessseason]

Best of luck, AG!!! In time you'll be back at it stronger than ever.

[EPSkis]

Good luck, AG - You'll get the best treatment I'm sure, but - don't rush your rehab...Despite how you might feel at the moment, you'll be back strong. I believe I rushed things too quick (too many) years ago & I'm afraid I may be in for another major fix soon...The healing will happen - don't get frustrated with the timetable...Good luck! :)

[CS]

Good luck AG. Heal fast, heal well and stay strong.

[Arty50]

Good luck with the rehab AG!!!! And since I've already planted the seed in Shoe's head... You must go to SA next summer. It's a moral imperative. ;)

Heal up well, and best wishes!!!

[GT40]

Hey C,

I know if it is humanly possible to heal fast and be back at it soon, YOU WILL DO IT!! :cool:

I heard that you guys were thinking about buying some super sleds this winter. :D I bet you could ride without stressing your knee. Just don't get the sled stuck. ;)

[altagirl]

You guys rock.

And Woodsy - you did make me cry with that. Damn I love you guys.

Good to have step 1 complete so I can get on with the healing. They definitely have my anesthesia dialed... I woke up feeling good, happy and babbling to my nurse about skiing and riding, not in much pain at all, and got out of there without having to spend the night despite the afternoon surgery time. So that's good. I think my hands hurt more than my knee does with the ice machine kicking right now. The nurse complimented my nice veins and then managed to require 4 tries to get the IV in. And I have a deep aversion to needles, so that was really fun... But hey, if that's the worst thing I have to deal with, it's alright.

I was up and feeling good and watching some BMX dirt jumping thing on TV when Mr. AG showed up with white chocolate macadamia cookies (instead of the Ben and Jerrys). Damn did they taste good. Mmmm....

I was able to do a straight leg raise and move my leg around no problem when I got up to go to the bathroom, and didn't have any head rush or massive searing pain when I stood up either. Phew. Nurse was pretty shocked. I guess there's something to this whole weightlifting and eating healthy deal... More motivation to stick with it.

Anyway, thank you all so much for the positive thoughts and great memories! On to rehab...

[Hicks]

Best wishes sent for a speedy recovery!

[shamrockpow]

Rock it through PT! Sorry to hear about the needles sticks, but hopefully they give you some good drugs for the next few days :D

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Glad to hear your doing ok already AG.

I'll be right there with ya in about a month.

Just remember our little ROM wager if you need motivation ;)

[Greydon Clark]

What the fuck? If I knew you were going to go home and post on the internet I'd have ordered another round.

[zion zig zag]

Looks like i'm late. Glad to hear things went ok, hope you heal up quick!

[jayfrizzo]

Glad to hear things went well, AG. Now get after rehab so we can hit UPS first thing in the spring!

[gincognito]

A little late for the surgery well-wishing, but I'll put in my vibes for a speedy recovery and strengthening rehab.

SaAaH (and we should have a South American Summit for anyone who's ever lost a season to injury),
