From Heaven to Hell
There's no easy way to say it so I'll just state it bluntly, Becky seriously injured her knee today on our second day of climbing. She was trying another of the fantastic problems here, one that involved a slight dyno. She partially latched the hold but came loose and fell hard and awkwardly. Judging from her scream I expected to see a compound fracture. Fortunately that was not the case. Unfortunately, the doctor in town believes she partially tore her MCL. He did not have access to an X-ray or MRI but seemed very confident in his diagnosis. I'm not sure what we're going to do, all I know is that right now we're really upset and a bit bewildered.

F-word dude. I hope it isn't really ligament damage! If it is I hope you guys are both able to stay and make the best of it. Take her on a safari, she can just look from the jeep?!?
Hey Justin, I partially tore my MCL in high school wrestling. To rehab it I 1)Stayed off of it, 2) did straight leg lifts with my toe pointed out to the side to emphasize the inner/mcl portion of my leg. This is what I've done in the past and I hope it at least is food for thought. Good luck to both of you!!!
Thanks for the feedback Mike, I've passed it along.
I never hurt my knee like that, but I do a lot of curls...
