1. I tore my left ACL all the way through.

The greatest pain I ever endured.

I took physical therapy and the surgeon didn't believe that I need to fix it with his help. Plus I wasn't in love with the concept of having a tendon from a cadaver sewn in place.

20+ years later, I can stand and walk without pain. However, marathons are not possible. I'm grateful for what I've got.

While I understand that Cameron Brink is out of the Olympics, she will receive stellar medical/surgical assistance.
