Knee surgeries/LIMDU/MEDBOARD?

HELP REQUESTED

Hey hooyah's, marine here. Nothing on my subredit. Im at NAS Pensacola for Aircrew. 8 months active. I tore my acl and meniscus for the second time in october, and just had a distal femoral osteotomy, meniscus cleanout, and knee arthroscopy on tuesday. My acl reconstruction is scheduled for 6-9 months. I've been limdu since Dec 2. Does anyone have any insight on if and or when I'll get med boarded? My pcm wants to wait until my second limdu cycle is up but that's, well, 12 months from now. My femur was just sawed in half. I don't know the process and can only find other info about sailors and marines close to retirement or EAS date that are about to get med boarded. Thanks. I'm really struggling with the whole process as I have no idea what's going to happen and everything's out of my hands. Also sitting in a stinky barracks room for potentially 2 more years doesn't sound fun.
