[QUOTE="AndrewAdkins, post: 509899, member: 38089"] Hi, A little over 8 weeks ago I crashed going over a tabletop and dislocated my left knee tearing 3 ligaments (MCL, PCL, ACL), the menisucus (cartiliage) and dislocating my petella. It is 8 weeks out of surgery this coming friday. It was a doozy. All the doctors here locally (Huntington Wv.) all looked at me like I was a work of art. They all said "Never seen one that bad" I dread those words. So the recomended me to Cinnccinatti. I had one of the top 3 Orthopedic Surgeons in the country. Dr. Noyes. (He told me he raced pro-am in his other lifetime) I'm not kidding and I am so greatful. By the way I'm 17 and ride A class here locally (B AMA districts) Should be getting off crutches in a week or so. The Doc said it would be about 9-12 months before I could ride again. I know Doctors exaggerate but even the therapists tell me that. Since I had the best work done to my leg I guess I'd better listen. I do not want to go through 9 1/2 hours of surgery again :(. At first I said I was never going to ride again but its my motivation in life, to get better and everything. Oh also the Doc's (I had 4 Orthopedic Surgeons work on me) had to take a piece out of my left leg tendon for a graft. So I got 2 bothed up legs. Any ways I want to say this, for you guys with minor injuries thank your lucky stars, I look back and I do. Always ride and don't have fear of getting hurt so you will enjoy it to the fullest. By the way I was in 2nd place last lap and it was muddy and I kept on overshooting the tabletop so I let off at the face to shorten the distance but ended up whipping a 180 and couldn't bring it back. My bike is a 02 yz 250f and the bars, clamps, and forks are bent. I plan on getting a 03' KTM 125 to get more agressive when I get back to riding. Ride hard, Andrew [/QUOTE]
