A knee knows

I tore the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in my left knee skiing at Mt. Wachusett in central Mass. on January 18, 2007. This is a common injury to weekend warriors like myself, so I thought others might like to know what happens once you've done something unfortunate like this to your body. Maybe you've injured yourself too, and feel like the game's over. However, you can return to your sport -- you just need to stay focused and do the work.

Here's where it started...

Getting back the groove

Added a YouTube clip this morning showing me hitting a few groundstrokes on a clay court in Holden MA, October 3. The date is only significant because two days later I went in to have a SLAP tear repaired in my shoulder. This is pretty light hitting, but I've been feeling more and more 'normal' every day. This is the first video of myself hitting a tennis ball that I've seen in twenty years. I can see some holes in my strokes but given I haven't played a serious set of tennis since Oct. 2006, I'm pretty happy, very happy actually.
