headoverheels 333 #2 May 5, 2004 I hope you feel better soon. I've had more than one friend cause some very permanent damage by jumping when their "landing gear" was less than sound, so don't push things until you are 98%. Anyway, you need to put a hundred jumps on that friend's 150 before moving to yours. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paige 0 #3 May 5, 2004 Feel fortunate. It took my mom years of all that testing to find out she has rheumatoid arthritis. They still haven't found drugs to make her feel better and its been years; close to 4 I think. Think positively and I hope your situation improves. At least you can be mobile at some point. Keep things in perspective and try to stay upbeat. I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis, I am sure things will improve if you take time and good care of yourself. <<<<<<<>>>>>>Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DisasterInc 0 #4 May 5, 2004 Not sure what kind of accident(if any) you had, but I took an 80 foot fall in a CRW wrap onto pavement and suffered a compund fracture of tib fib... It took 30 surgeries, 3 titanium rods, and two serious bone infections which were dealt with via a semi permanant pic line from my arm all the way to my heart. Hardcore antibiotics via IV 3 times a day for 8 weeks. Told I might not jump again or walk straight... That was in 2000, I had about 1400 jumps. I now have 4500, with little or no pain, so dont get too bummed, youll be back in the air in no time. Positive attirude, physical therapy and a serious drive will get you thru this. Good luck, stay strong, see you in the air soon, Dave"Bad spot...High winds...No outs..." DisasterInc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlindBrick 0 #6 May 5, 2004 Quoteif i look around me i can find someone who is worse off than myself. Hang in there bud, I can remember how much it sucked when I was down for my transplants so you have my sympathy. Better to take the time to heal than to risk injuring yourself. When I blew out my knee landing on that creek bank you told me to take it easy but I didn't and now that knee doesn't work right anymore. Listen to your own advice and you'll be back in the air in no time. -Blind"If you end up in an alligator's jaws, naked, you probably did something to deserve it."
