Just got MRI results today. Ruptured my ACL and tore both meniscus falling while bouldering a couple weeks ago. Time to drown my sorrows in wine for the next 6 months.
Damn, that sucks, sorry to hear that. I wish you a fast recovery. A buddy of mine tore one ACL while playing table tennis. He made an a awkward landing on the right foot and he totally fucked it up there. As there are two of those bitches, he tore one. He had quite big pain but what's even worse is that he could continue walking etc. but he had a feeling that his knee is going left-right as he had no stabilization in the knee. The doctors told him that what happened was rare and he can pick between strengthening his knee or going to a surgery. He couldn't decide for months and so he took time to work lightly in the gym, making his knee stronger. After a couple of months he decided to hit the surgery. It went pretty great, as was his recovery time. But yeah, it was like 8 months to say he's almost fully recovered and a year to be fully recovered. It was recommended that he spends around 2 hours doing exercises (light ones), but it works in his favor if he spends more time on it, which he did by investing around 4 hours instead. Shortly, that fucking sucks, but it all ended up fine. Patience and discipline.
