Bad news on my injury

Went to the hospital today to see the surgeon about my knee.
After an assessment it was worse news than hoped as after thinking it was just medial ligament damage and possible cartilage damage, it turns out they are major concerns over my anterior cruciate ligament(ACL).
As they are knee specialist they say they are 80% sure on the diagnosis. I am booked in for an MRI scan and then they can assess the real damage. Hopefully it's not as bad as they say but I have to prepare myself for it as it will involve surgery and a long recovery.
It could well be 9 months before I can kick a ball!
After that news and the fact I can not drive as well has got me down for the time being. It is devastating news as It is going to affect my work and financial income.

I do need to try to be positive and focus on recovery but it is a bit difficult at the moment.

Will try to make more videos with other players and will be able to coach verbally instead of demonstrating the skill but it won't be the same.

Keep you updated on my rehab.

Steve
