I did have a small tear that was causing most of the problem. My doctor was confident that I will be able to return to my active life with the left over ACL and some physical therapy. Its a good thing that I trust my doctor, I did wake up disappointed and sceptical, which will all have to wait till I see my doctor on the 12th.....Hopefully it wasn't an April fools joke and I'll be getting more surgery in a few weeks.
On the bright side I will be back to my active life before too long and the recovery time is much shorter. I can get back to climbing, hiking and training for next ski season....and hopefully burning off my pent up energy. I have one concern that will have to wait till I see the doc on the 12th....How prone is my ACL to re-injury???.....how strong is it now??

This is my ACL. Notice the rought spot on the right side, that is were it was torn.

Wow.
