Torn ACL

Skiing yesterday at Keystone and tore my ACL . Initially a severe searing pain was experienced. I was on the slope in the outback and suffered a 10 -15 minute wave of nausea and cold sweat. Amazingly I did not have much pain after the first pain. I was able to ski out of there and rode the gondola down to the base. Iced it with snow the whole way home and kept it elevated the rest of the day. This morning went to the urgent care and had an MRI of the right knee. Diagnosis: torn ACL and tibial plateau avulsion fracture. Surgery in my future and a greatly delayed start to my mountain biking season.

We will see.
