Hey Darren,
I hope you are able to get in sooner with a cancellation. I've had this ligament problem in my leg for a few months now and I can't believe what a pain it is. I can't imagine if I had to throw crutches into the mix. The worst part is getting up or down from a sitting position. Since my sisters and I are joining other WISHer's at the half marathon in January I'm hoping that it will be healed soon so that I can start training in ernest. I am able to ride a bike though so that is helping I think.
Praying for a quick surgery date and a quick, problem free recovery for you.
Take care,
