This short piece describes my personal experience of an injury I had incurred in a freak accident: I tore the core ligament in my left knee ? and needed ACL reconstructive surgery. This is my journey of recovery from my initial injury, to the surgery, to physical therapy. It's been more than a decade since, and still, I'm thankful ? for my ability to walk without crutches. I will never take that for granted again!
