Oh, and FYI – prices are accurate and items in stock as of time of publication.If there’s one thing I do not recommend, it’s falling two metres from a rock climbing wall, snapping your ACL and MCL knee ligaments and shattering its meniscus.Yup – it’s safe to say that last year won’t be going down as one of my best.After smashing my right knee to smithereens, the only option to repair it was to undergo some pretty major surgery, which involved a graft from my hamstring being used as my new MCL, a graft from my patella being turned into a new ACL and a meniscus repair and clean up. The result? A new working knee (well, after a lot of physio), but also, quite frankly, a shit tonne of scars.First things first, there is zero shame in having scars of any kind.
