skymama 37 #1 May 23, 2005 Physical Therapy 2-3 times a week for 4-6 weeks. No jumping for 4 more months. My left wrist has healed fine. My right wrist (the one that was in the cast) is the problem. The bone has shifted, but the doc doesn't think he'll need to do surgery. I have a lot of work to do to get the strength and flexibility back in it. It will never be the same though because of the bone shift. It's going to be a looooong summer. On the plus side... It won't keep me from going to Europe (yea!) I might be able to pay off my credit card with the money I won't be spending on jumping. I won't be sweating my ass off packing in the hot FL sun. Uh...help me think of other things so I won't be so pouty! It's a bad day!She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peej 0 #2 May 23, 2005 You're still a hottie! But seriosuly, I was out of the sport recently for 6 months, skydiving DVD's and skydivingmovies.com were the things that got me through. My advice though? Spend time with people you never normally see, friends and family who are outside of jumping. I know i tend to neglect a lot of people when i'm out at the DZ all the time. Four months will fly by, trust me Advertisio Rodriguez / Sky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VanillaSkyGirl 6 #5 May 23, 2005 Sorry to hear that, Andrea. QuoteUh...help me think of other things so I won't be so pouty! It's a bad day! No more "lobster claw" look. You didn't severely damage your dominant wrist, and it's healed. You don't need surgery. You have all your limbs intact and can actually use them...more or less. You get to spend more time with your children and significant other. Your European trip will be amazing, and it's coming up soon! Plus, your BF can carry all your luggage. (Hurrah!)
