freeflir29 0 #1 July 5, 2004 Today was the FIRST day I can EVER remember being grounded due to an injury. Got home from work last night......took a nap and when I woke up my left knee was a bit sore. Well...over the next couple hours it got REALLY sore. I was going to go to the DZ and get some jumps in today but I knew I would have to be careful. That means no DEAD MANs on landing. I thought.....What fun would that be? Especially since High Performance landings equal 50% of the fun on any skydive for me. Went to see the Doc......he says don't go to work tomorrow and go see another Doc for follow up. His words...."I didn't see anything too out of place or broken on your X-Rays but it almost looks like you have 2 knee caps. You have a large calcium deposit where the tendon attaches to the ligament." Here I sit in a "Knee Immobilizer"..........Hope this crap goes away soon so I can get back to ripping PHAT Swoops.

Casch 0 #2 July 5, 2004 Damn man that's no good. Hope they can fix whatever is wrong in short order, wouldn't want to get uncurrent Best of luck brotha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #3 July 5, 2004 Quotewouldn't want to get uncurrent No worries about currency. I COULD jump......it's just that I'm not sure my knee is up to Head Down flying and I would certainly have to tone down the swooping. Hmmmm......that means belly flying and landing straight in.

I'm sure you can think of something better to do with your chick than that... - for ideas, please see GFD's thread about people getting stressed on DZ.com.As for jumping with the knee... water landings! You could make them fashionable! *************** Not one shred of evidence supports the theory that life is serious - look at the platypus. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RoadRash 0 #6 July 6, 2004 Ewwwwwwww...man, that sucks...I've been there...Well, I was grounded because of an injury...let me rephrase that...I grounded myself and that's how I ended up in a hospital in Lake Wales and now a lot more careful on my landings......Feel better and heal fast! ~R+R...If you have to ask if you owe beer, you owe beer......~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fly the friendly skies...^_^...})ii({...^_~...

cocheese 0 #9 July 6, 2004 If it wont hurt in freefall or on opening, you're good. Now lets see how good you can land Mr. Swoop Dog.Bring it in with your bad knee locked out and in front. Pop it up and and take a bow. I'd show you how but.....No don't jump til you're ready to jump out a window for not being able to jump.Or til you're healed... which ever comes first.Another edit for spelling . F@q spell check.

freeflir29 0 #11 July 6, 2004 Went to the Doc again today. I talked her into letting me go back to work tomorrow. Get this....I actually WANT to go back. I have an appointment I MUST keep tomorrow night. I have to go back next week for a follow up just to make sure it's OK. With any luck I will get in a jump or two Saturday in Atlanta.

I think not.........I might need to use knee pads for the short ones though. I saw an add for Alpacas the other day.....noticed they are just about waist tall........Hmmmmm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
