1) Seperated shoulder
2) Small breaks in the scapula.
3) torn /snapped/ripped ligaments
4) Bump on shoulder will be there for the rest of my life.
The bad news:

1) No using arm for six weeks... wear the sling
2) no skydiving for at least 3 months.
3) p.t. will be needed.
4) surgery is not going to help and could harm.
5) Don't drive on Vicodin
My attitude is good about this, just letting those who care, know what the verdict was. I'll still go to the dz and try to raise a little hell... here on dropzone.com

Good! This is temporary. I just healed up from a break and got back in the air after a 3 month layoff.

Heal up bro!

Hey bro, you'll be back in the air sooner than I expected. You know if ya need anything you can gimme a call, even though I'm four hours away and you'd probably do it yourself before I got there, but hey, it's the thought that counts.

Psssst......by the way........you're gonna be cool for Bridge Day.....

I'm sorry. That's horrible. Well, it looks like you'll be in the sky before me... For what it's worth, I LOVE your attitude! YEAH BABY...raise some hell!
You know what's REALLY funny? I have not used ANY pain reliever for my ankle, except one tylenol as they "set" and bandaged it in the ER, so I have a full bottle of vicoden. Perhaps I will hole onto that...in case of an "emergency". Lol!

Btw, remember you can always PM or call if you're bored...

Just take care of yourself, that's the more important thing.

Chrissy, just let me see your freefly videos at the end of the day.Thanks Chrissy and everyone else who has offered help.
There is a good reason why this happened to me. It's all good.

hehe... Dude, I finally got the beads for your necklace! (they were shipped all the way from the UK). It'll be sent out ASAP!

Had my arm in a sling for 4 weeks recently. When I got to take it out I had almost no movement. Took 6 weeks of physio to get movement back. Afterward they said that it might have been better to have moved it a bit whilst in the sling. I only had a little break of the coronoid process (end of the ulna in the elbow) Might be worth asking your doc about. I was skiing at the time and was able to carry on skiing with the limited movement. No way I'd have been able to skydive, left elbow wouldnt bend beyond 90 degrees so no ability to reach reserve handle.

Yep i try to move my arm in every direction that doesn't hurt . No/little pain when resting. I thought i would be good-to-go in two weeks the way i'm improving, but after he told me what really happened , i think i should just take it easy for a while. Only wearing the sling when i'm up and about. The sling seems to cause more discomfort than just holding my arm to the chest.

Ouch! Take care and heal fast.

Hey dude, if Bubbles can get back in the air 4 months to the day from her crash after having heart surgery and getting a titanium femur, you've got it licked. You'll be back in no time at all.
