Oh, and good luck. One key is to find the best doc. Any sports medicine joint

isn't enough. Do your due diligence. It took me 6 months to find what seems like the right guy. A fellow Pelican helped me there.
Find a good therapist. I've been looking around for months and the day before surgery I interviewed where I will be going. If they don't seem to be spot on when I start, I walk out.
