I would just say that you WILL find ways through this and around this, and that you will find new athletic doors that you'll be able to walk through. You have my heartfelt sympathy and support in this.
Thanks Salsabike, your comments and all the others are appreciated. You know, I was sedentary until I learned to ride in 2010 for my 50th.

I do wish I had discovered at a much earlier age that I enjoyed playing outside but that is how it goes. I can STILL hike easy trails, and if all goes well, the KB break is only temporary. My coach is talking with my Chiro to see what other movements might be safe.

Trying to figure out how far I can safely push the knee with the meniscus tear. It's never felt good since the surgery so it's hard to go by feel. It will all work out as things do, so I will stop whining and go to bed
