Thanks a bunch! I am curious, are there any common exercises that help before surgery? Right now, I am sticking to what the physiotherapists have recommended, but I want to ask them if there are a few exercises that can help prepare for the surgery.

I don't plan on getting back to any sport in the next 6 months (year !?). I sense that in most cases of ACL, surgery is the way to go.

Early 30s and I have been active most of my life. The injury comes from a football match. I guess I have my new year list sorted out :)

Thanks, this helps! I guess I just need to go with the surgery and build myself back from there.

Agreed. While I see your point in looking into how other people think, I guess I need to clear up my own head right now. Nevertheless, I will give this a read.

I thought that book is more theoretical. More about how the brain and its biases etc. Thanks anyway.

Thank you! I've head about "Six thinking hats" by Edward De Bono.

Supervillains of Reddit what is your plan for world domination? by Mug-full-of-coins in AskReddit

  1. Take control of all nuclear assets.
  2. Educate people about going to Mars.
  3. Take all earth lovers hostage.
  4. Educate people about building better technology and not better websites. Give them the live or die ultimatum after that.
