I'm just super pissed off. I keep going over it in my head and it makes no sense. I don't understand how I managed to do that much damage while still skiing. When I blew my other one I fell on it weird - fair enough. But this time, just the force of the snow at speed is enough? That feels unfair.
Charlie's still at the hill a lot, as is Louise. They both ski occasionally still.

That sucks man...as someone who's gone through the tear the ACL and surgery route all I can say is just do your physio pre and post surgery. By the sounds of it you've already been down this with your other knee so I'm probably just saying crap you know and don't want to hear again but I can at least give you a positive story that after my surgery (2018) I've been able to once again ski and play hockey (as a goalie) so don't give up completely!
Also related but I I blew my knee out playing kickball...yes kickball...when I was 33 years old I blew my knee out playing kickball. Got my surgery done in Banff and the biggest reaction from the doctors and nurses was...huh Kickball, that's a first.
