ACL/Meniscus tear questions

[Mud-Ectomy]

Hello folks, kind of bummed out right now. Planted my right foot like I do 50 times a ride and pop! Torn ACL and Meniscus.

Part of my bummed out issue is that my 4 month old 2011 Nambo is sitting in the garage beside my 1 month old 2012 300 Raga with one tank of gas through it. I was so excited to get these bikes and now????????

My question is it has been over 3 weeks since my injury and I still can barely walk with a cane. Is this normal?

I live in Canada so I am on a long wait list to see a surgeon and to get a MRI to confirm the extent of my injury. I have only dealt with the emergency Dr. and my family G.P. to date.

I purchased two Custom Donjoy Defiance braces, one for the bad knee and one for the good knee.

I am currently working out of the country trying to hobble arround until I return to Canada at the end of October.

When do you guy's with experience with this expect I will be able to walk normally again and have any of you guys (or gals) continued riding without a ACL repair.

Sorry for the Rant but I am just trying to figure out what is in my future.
