Yup, I have. Torn mine (while playing tennis) in fall 2018 when I was 27.

Firstly, I know exactly how you're feeling, it's awful. So sorry that happened to you. It's definitely possible to come back. I would make sure you get the surgery and start PT. For now, all you can do is proof your living situation. Get a shower stool. Make sure to have a plan to keep a healthy diet. You're going to lose so much muscle in that leg, so keep the protein up to limit the atrophy.

Find a GOOD PT organization. I was lucky to be near a Power 5 university and a grad student and was able to go to their health services. Anyways, go to PT a lot, even an aggressive amount. I think I started at 2-3x per week, eventually 1x per week, for almost a year. It became part of my routine. Hopefully they give you massage and ice therapy as well, both of these were huge.

And when they assign you work to do at home DO IT. Do as much as you can (to the limit that they say). I didn't do as much as I should, and my left calf is (seemingly) forever weaker than the right.

All that being said, I am back to playing tennis! It took about 2 years for me to feel comfortable on a court again, but I could have gone after 1 year. I don't have the speed that I had before, but I'm still 90% as fast as pre injury id say! Feel free to DM with any questions. Good luck and hang in there

No, it was just before the CAVS won the championship, but after we fell down 3-1 to them in the finals

Going to respectfully decline. I have a big problem with neoliberalism as a whole.

Yeah I guess. Sadly I know too many fellow leftists who care more about "owning the right" or "being correct" than they do about progressing towards a solution.

I think the problem with it is that it isn't helpful. If you saw someone with "Libs are terrorists" or something, you'd immediately ignore anything they have to say, right?

It's just more ammunition for them to be like "wow look how extreme and crazy the left is!!!"

I don't understand how 5 man fronts are able to be successful in the modern NFL but I like it

Anyone else miss TBC? by Space_of_Disse_Nuts in classicwow

[–]FL14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm partial to vanilla sets for most classes. I especially love that the T1 sets aren't overly flashy.

But I can't deny how much I love warlock T4-6

That's fucking garbage.

Are they unable to "reverse" the call into a non-call, basket counts?

I feel this post highlights why we feel the refs are against us by bouyent in warriors

[–]FL14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would that make you feel like the refs are against you? Shouldn't it do the opposite?

Right - they only lost the NFCCG because their 3rd string 7th round rookie QB, who was clearly chosen by god, got injured due to horrific blocking.

They love turning a blind eye to the atrocious amount of moving screens they got away with in 2014-2015. Which they needed to beat a Cavs team without its 2nd and 3rd best players in 6 games. Andrew Bogut has literally admitted to the fact that they got away with constant moving screens that other teams didn't.

TLDR: Cry more, spoiled warrior fans

Lmao. It was so obvious that your wife who knows nothing about basketball could tell it was rigged? Read what you're saying bro

I'm a carpet specialist AMA by [deleted] in 10s

[–]FL14 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I grew up playing 90% on green clay (har-tru) and indoor carpet. I have nothing to add except to gripe about feeling weak and useless on outdoor hardcourt when competitive high school tennis started up :(

I play almost 100% on hard court these days. Very few clay or otherwise on the US west coast. I've gotten used to it, but damn do I miss the softer surfaces.

I don't yet have a S'theno, and I'm considering dropping one of the Annihilans to saturate my pool with more inquisitors - thoughts?
