The good, and not so good

 I’ve gotten the results of my MRI. The good news is, the tendons and ligaments - ACL, MCL, LCL are intact, and it appears I have been doing the right things to help heal the ACL injury. 

The not so good is I have a meniscus tear, and high grade thinning of the cartilage, and deterioration of the tissue. Not sure exactly what this means yet, or the next steps to recovery. I now have to wait another 3 weeks to see my specialist. 

So I will continue to do what I can, push myself as much as I can, and learn to adjust. Pivot when needed, and keep positive on this journey. A new road I have been lucky this far to not have travelled, but that is life. I do wish the wait times were not as long, but not much I can do about that. I’ll see my physiotherapist next week to see what I can be doing to speed this recovery as much as possible, now that at least I have an answer as to what the issue is. 

Life will always have a different path to follow than what we envision, and it is up to only ourselves in how we choose to respond, and continue on as best we can.
