man, if you truly loved skiing, which obviously you did due to you goinbg out and becoming a bum for 2 years, you would never give up anything man. I have torn my ACL and meniscus in the past two seasons, last season I skied all year with a torn ACL, and eventually ended up tearing my meniscus. I just had surgery three months ago, and the only thing i care about I'm getting ready for. If you just suddenly don't have a passion for it anymore, give it time... it's rough for it to not come back. I understand your pain though man, after surgery, everything just royally blows, and for me, I sit here wanting to ski everyday every second. but, i cant. Just don't give up because you got hurt, if you want to give up, go for it, but do it for a good reason. If you can find one, let me know... skiing is the sport that we all on here just, completely love. I don't know how you would be any different.
