Thanks for all of your heart felt replies to my last email update. I am back in the states and it's really nice to be with the family and remember my Aunt Susan together. She was an amazing women and huge supporter of my ski racing charge.

As for the recovery:
The last few days I was in Austria I took a couple runs, even some in GS gates, on the flats and my knee felt like new. My lateral balance even felt on par- what a nice surprise. I will be back in Austria on Monday and will train at Hinterriet (a great training location an hour outside of Salzburg, Austria) on Tuesday and Wednesday. Then I'm off to Italy to meet up with the team (SRI) for a couple of slalom starts.
