Long story short, a loud pop in the knee and some nice pain. Nothing seems to be torn so far but have to go in for some more tests, right now its looking like an ACL stretch/sprain? I have no lateral movement in my leg or it collapses but it can hold my weight which is promising. First real MTB injury and all I want to do is go ride again.
Drops and rain are bad news, anything i can't roll i stay away from. Wheelie drops from slick surfaces get a lot of people! Good thing i don't live on the west-coast. Go luck with your re-hab, you sound like you're gonna be pushing it to get back to 100% normal activities, don't... just don't. Plenty of riding years left ahead no need to make it worse.
