I am a 35 year old woman, not particularly sporty, but I love skiing. I have complete tears of both my ACL and MCL, and possible meniscus tear/s of my right knee. I did this skiing on the 3/22/02. Just short of two weeks out of my accident I commenced riding an exercise bike, on the advice of my orthopedist, for half an hour per day (about 7.5 miles). I still don't have a lot of range of motion at this point - 4/17/02.
Update 5/10/02
Am up to 8.5 miles on my bike, in half an hour at resistance level 4. Knee feels more stable. Going down stairs still a problem! Surgery scheduled for 6/13/02.
