Nelly, a wheelchair to get around Glastonbury sounds like a very good idea to me!

Thanks Billip for the recommendation :)

Do you know any good old folks homes too? The way I feel right now, I'm nearly ready for one. They take people aged over 50 don't they?

I think next year might be my last year. I am fed up with getting hurt :cry:

Best of luck with the knee Nelly :)
Let's hope you manage to get it straight without surgery.

I've just had a reply to the e-mail I sent on 22nd February to my Welsh Euro MP about ski hosting ending in France.

Apparently, they are now 'investigating the matter'. I find it totally incredible that it's taken them THIS LONG to get around to this.

What are all those Euro MP's doing, in Strasbourg, or Brussels, or wherever it is that they hang out? :?: :evil:

It will take 9 months for the repair to be at full strength and if she doesn't ski this winter, she'll not be able to go for the next 2 years after that until she's done her finals because she won't have time off in the ski season.

Whether the consultant agrees with her plan is a different matter!

Now that is a novel approach to the problem!

Will it make any difference if she waits that long before having it done? I mean, is it likely to heal just as well as if she had it done now?

And perhaps, if she finds she can walk and ski etc. just fine without that particular ligament, she won't bother with the operation.

I am waiting to see if my torn rotator cuff tendon (in my shoulder) will heal on its own, or whether that will need to be repaired. At the moment my physiotherapist seems pleased enough with my progress, but if it gets to a point where I can't improve the mobility of the joint any further, then she will refer me for an MRI scan with a view to surgery.

It doesn't seem that straightforward a decision, whether to go for the surgical option with the ACL (or rotator cuff), or not. I think there are a lot of things to consider, and I suppose each surgeon/GP/physiotherapist has their own point of view on this.

Any way my elder daughter has now followed her Mum's example and done her ACL skiing although if the amount of bony bruising on the scan is any clue as to her speed when she wiped out she's lucky to have ski'd off the mountain under her own steam and carried on for another 4 days!

I'm sorry to hear that :(

Is she having the operation to replace her bust ACL?

Thanks Dids :)

And I'm really sorry you never got to go ski-ing this season at all :(

It must have been hard on you, reading everyone's posts about how much fun we've all been having.
