Rchan, this board is a great place to come for emotional support when recovering from a serious injury. Lots of empathetic eyes here who have first hand experience with the highs and lows of the healing process. Welcome to TE and keep checking in!

I love Kiwi stoker's advice. A great way to still be around the sport you love, you'll probably meet some new and interesting people, too. Let the experience surprise you!

I don't know if this injury will be keeping you off your feet/off work for an extended period of time, but if it does, it can help to find a new focus, even a temporary one. I think there are at least a couple of threads here where people have shared what they did while laid up. Some people learn a new language, plan a trip, learn a new craft, etc.

When you are ready, you can also look into what exercises you can continue to do in order to keep your core and upper body strong. That way you won't be starting from scratch as the knee gets healthier.

Good luck, sending healing vibes your way.
