Torn Meniscus - Surgery Good or Bad Idea?

Heal up well Harry and get back out on the slopes!

Good luck with the recovery Harry! My advise to you as a vet of: an acl reconstruct on both; debridement of arthritic bumps on both; 2 "other" scopes on both for miniscus trimming and/or getting rid of floating cartilage, is this - go at physio like you're a pro athlete. Faster recovery, better overall outcome and side bonus is it gets me into the gym and I'll tend to do other shit than just my physio regime.

Get well fast buddy, I still want my "I skied with Harry" fucking T shirt. (edit, meaning of course earned after I ski with you. ....)

Good news at PT today. They had me scheduled for 6 weeks of geriatric therapy based on my age. So focused on life skills like climbing steps, getting dressed, tying shoes, basic real life stuff.

She got me rescheduled onto the Sports Medicine track. Starting Week 3 of 6, I will be working with a different therapist, one who specializes in skiing. I am pumped about that.

Sweet Harry. You'll crush it.

Everything is going well. Had a slight setback due to swelling, but that’s now minor and I have finished the 3-week regular PT and have now moved onto the 3-week Sports Medicine phase.

Chick is awesome. Has a Doctorate degree and grew up skiing at the same hill SkiJ works at.

I am super motivated and she seems pumped to have a super motivated patient like me. Good combination.
