I am in the same boat. I've had a meniscus tear over two years. I elected for surgery in January and the journey to healing is long and tedious and HARD.
The beginning is the worst. The withdrawal awl from the endorphins and exercise and your sports community is brutal. However, there is hope on the other side! It's been interesting to see how I've ended up filling all of the empty time and space. You never know what you're capable of! I've been playing piano, writing songs, and playing around with DJing. I am sure you will find new layers of yourself as you take time off from training. I wish you a speedy recovery!
