Original Description

I found out yesterday that I tore my ACL and Meniscus. I understand there’s bigger problems out there but this is quite the blow to me personally. I’m determined to get back to 100% health and would really be grateful for any advice, connections, recommendations you could send my way. Latest technology? Best expert? Witch doctor? Yes please ;) I’m so very grateful for Jess, my kids, and 39 years of healthy knees. I’m letting myself be sad and devastated for 24 hours then I’m going at this with a heart of optimism and gratitude. As for summer plans like hosting Summer Camp, Berryislandlodge and Mounuisland..??..Hopefully I’ll know asap if I’m getting surgery and where. Until then just lots of questions.. Thank you family and friends. ALWAYS GRATEFUL - Garrett
