Hi Everyone,
I thought I'd post this to get some feedback from the experience of others.
I am having ACL reconstruction on December 18th. I am newly certified (Oct5th) and only have a couple of dives under my belt. Needless to say, I'm hooked. After talking to my surgeon's PA today, he thinks it could be at least 6 months before I dive again.:depressed: The bad part about all of this is that I am going to be on Grand Turk in June, and was hoping to dive there. We're going there on a cruise.
For the medical info, I am having a double bundle hamstring graft done for the reconstruction.
I was able to complete certification on a bum knee. I tore the ACL in May.
Has anyone had this done before? Even the specific surgery? If you did, or you know of someone who did, how long were you out before you were back to diving again. I'd hate to miss diving in Turks.
Thanks
Joe
