karenmeal 0 #1 November 16, 2006 That I was cleared to skydive!!!!!!!!! HOOOOOORAAAAAYYYY!!!!!!! In fact.. he didn't just clear me.. he advised me to go make a jump and then come back and report how my knee felt while I was doing it. If things go well, then PT is done. 2 months and 2 days after major knee surgery and I'm advised to go skydive! I can't believe how fast I recovered!

I think I'll be a wussy and butt slide it in for a little bit. I was going to wash my rig while I was on hiatus.. now I'm glad that I didn't. However, I might borrow someone else's rig for the first jump so to ease my worries.. a 95 might be a tad small. I just hope we have about 4 k this weekend.. that's all I need!
