Good luck with surgery! I've had 2, and you heal up pretty fast. It will go quick. Just be a good boy and do all your therapy. Patellar or hamstring graft? Or cadaver graft?
I rode all week at DW03 with mine boogered up and had surgery when i got home. It did just fine with braces. I only had one iffy moment when I stuck my foot out while falling downhill, but it didn't bend funny, just felt odd.
I had one patellar and one hamstring. With the patellar graft, my strength came back really really fast but I had to WORK to get mobility. Just a warning. But it was far less painful than the hamstring.
