To ref, or not to ref

[grunewar]

I had knee surgery several yrs back that was much more extensive than this - so I am confident you'll be back.

Personally, I'd pay the dues - but take your time returning to the court. I found it a very fine line between letting my body heal and aggressive rehabilitation. Be smart as a setback can be worse than the original problem. (Truth be told, I was rehabbing and ahead of schedule....then some lady hit me with her van while I was walking my dog and in a cross-walk! I take it you probably won't have that added complication!!)

Concur with the other's suggestions - get your books, go to meetings, offer to train and evaluate, go to games and listen to pre-games/post games, etc. Stay involved.

Good luck!
