I got some bad news yesterday - the problems i have with my joints have worsened in the last 2 weeks and the time has come for me to be put on the waiting list for an Arthroscopy for reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament. I had this explained as 3 small incisions for a camera and an instrument and fluid round my knee, fill my knee with fluid to inflate it then they'll cut my ligaments, stretch them, and rejoin them tighter.
What they couldn't tell me is how long I won't be able to ride?! It's such dreadful timing as it's likely to come along just as Q is going out to his first competitions etc. and I'll have to pay someone to take over riding him for a while. Apparently athletes can return to athletic training within weeks but I'm not sure what proceedure that relates to!
If anyone knows anything, has had something similar I'd love to know more, hear your experiences etc, I know very little about it and as I said doctors couldn't comment on riding! Thanks
P.S just looked up some pics of it on google - must now dash to bring up the petit filous I had for brekkie!!!
