So, circumstances have changed. Today, I am feeling much better on my knee. More range, less swelling, more stability and able to contract my muscles.
I had a long talk with Jacqui Cooper, about her experiences with injury, and what is possible. Needless to say, I am feeling much more up-beat and confident about my chances of skiing in the Olympics.
I am still heading home tomorrow, where I will meet with the surgeon to gain a second opinion, and make a decision whether surgery will be necessary, or if i should just begin rehab.
I figure... I still have my ACL, so that'll cover for my PCL. Meniscus is no big deal. MCL and retinaculum will heal by itself in time, and I can brace that up hard to hold into place.
Will update, with my progress... But I am feeling very confident I can be there in Vancouver.

Good luck Ramone with the doctors etc. I've just read your blogs and they have filled me in with all your snow expoits since I last caught up with you at your birthday celebrations. Congratulations on making the team and here's hoping that we all get to see you in the Olympics.

Great news, great attitude, Ramone. When I heard the news you were out of the Olympics, I was in shock mode but now will be sending lots of positive energies your way. Good luck, I expect to see you in Whistler. John Sim
Great attitude and fingers crossed! If you make it you will have a few Aussie supporters in Banff screaming for you! In fact, you'll probably be able to hear us! :) James
