Hello everyone
I am currently a student athletes at Iowa state who plays or played ultimate frisbee. For those who are unfamiliar with the sport I'd say it's like a combination of soccer and American football but played with a frisbee(it's awesome and I love it). Unfortunately on March 12th during a practiced I went down with a pretty serious knee injury. Mri results below:
Full-thickness tear of the anterior cruciate ligament.
 
Large bucket-handle tear of the medial meniscus.
 
Grade 1 sprains of the medial and lateral collateral ligaments.
 
Acute bone contusions within the lateral compartment secondary to a pivot-shift mechanism, with contrecoup bone contusion of the medial tibial plateau.
 
Large joint effusion

I've done what I can thus far to have my knee as healthy as possible before surgery( not scheduled yet but hoping to have done at the end of may). In hopes to have some return to my sport my senior year of college.

I'm seeking any and all advice regard recovery pre and post op. I am incredibly passionate about this sport and not ready to quit by any means, so any tid bits of information would be helpful. Thanks ❤️
