2 seasons!? What you do? Must have been bad! I did my ACL and patella tendon, 2 operations but only missed last season, did it October 2007 but will be back this year. I struggled missing one season!

I ruptured my ACL and tore my cartlidge. It was done July 2007, good old NHS ever diagnosed it PROPERLY until April 08, then on op waiting list and finally operated on 5 Sept! It won't be long now! At least I only had to have one operation!
