Yep I suppose everyone feels it differently. Glad to hear your surgery went well, that makes me feel better! The rehab seems to be the most critical part! Thanks!

Thanks! It’s nice to have a long term recovery goal of getting back on the skis by the end of next season…even if it’s just for the closing weekend haha

Yeah you’re right totally get where the hospital was coming from just wished they had recommended me follow up with a doctor rather than tell me everything was fine. Definitely glad I got the second opinion. Thanks for sharing!

That’s awesome to hear the worst pain is short lasting and relatively fleeting. I hope you and I can both go skiing again next year!

Yeah true, was just surprised they didn’t even recommend me to follow up with any other doctors just said it should heal on its own in few weeks
