New Focus - torn meniscus, possible ACL

So I received some terrible news yesterday. My meniscus has been tore, and possibly my ACL in my right knee. The injury was sustained when I stumbled awkwardly a month ago during a soccer game for my men's rec team.

The injury has not kept me away from golf at all though. I've been trying to get out as much as I can - still trying to find a consistency - it's amazing how much the game mimics this life.

My handicap has dropped from 14.9 to a 12.9 in the last 4 months, so that is reassuring that I'm headed in the right direction. My putting has improved, as has my chipping and pitching. My full swing needs help and of course I'm still soaking in information, trying my best not to overthink.

I'm not going to post a new method I'm trying or anything like that, I just wanted to post because it's been a while, and that's all. Was hoping to get a round in today, but rain might prevent that.

Tomorrow I found out through MRI if my ACL is torn - if so, my soccer stint could be finalized, especially because I know damn well I can't afford it.
