Insistence on full athletic recovery. Pro athlete? Some perspective

Edit Post

When I had my ACL repair my surgeon said I could just accept my knee is   & stop doing sport. I said repair it. I still do sport that involves pivoting/twisting/sprinting - ok, not so good, but hey, I still have fun. My surgeon said your future is knee osteoarthritis & total knee replacement. I said, "So is yours..." If you live long enough then your chances of developing cancer/dementia/heart disease/stroke/something dreadful approach 100%, eventually. Be happy now, in the present. You don't have to be Messi, Federer, Bolt to enjoy sport, you just need to enjoy life & if you are short & cannot accept it... cll is your path. Just walk it.

I for one (41 years old) had the idea for LL already ten years ago, but wouldn't want to do it, since I loved going skateboarding so much. Over the last years I reduced my active skateboarding to almost zero though, and I think now it would be great time to get LL, since most of the sport I do these days is just some fitness at home stuff.
