Me too, except mine is ACL. I've been down since Jan. 11, had surgery on Feb. 28th. The trainer has kept me going. I'm now allowed to road ride but no clipless pedals. I can make it about 1 hr, 10 miles, then my knee starts hurting. The trainer gives me the best workout. The worst part is I'm not allowed to hike, skate, go for walks, etc. I'm starting to use the elipitical trainer at the gym but only about 10 minutes. A lot of my rehab includes core work and pilates. Pilates kept me sane right after surgery when I didn't have enough rom for the bike.

In the summer of 99 I broke my wrist, distal radius, it took about 6 weeks after I got the cast off before I had the strength in my hand to ride. ROM wasn't a problem just my strength. By the next spring I rode without a problem. The wrist healed so well I can't tell it was broken. I spent a lot of time in the gym on the cardio machines and weight lifing on my legs,

In July of 03 I went over the handlebars of my mtn bike and strained my elbow, medial epicondalitis, still hurts sometimes, again it was fall before I could ride. I put areo bars on my trainer bike and rode that. It was mid Sept before I rode again. Again, I was in the gym lifting weights and working out on the cardio machines.

Be patient, if you give your body time to heal, it will come back stronger than it was before. You will be surprised how quickly things will come back once you're truly healed. Find an activity that will satisfy you in the meantime and be patient.
