Well, I have to have surgery.

Good Luck with your surgery.

At least the waiting is over. You now have a direction to move toward for recovery and your normal life. (If that can be said about skydivers ;))

Did you buy any gear yet? :D


Take it easy. Surgery sucks! I had my appendix out when I was 18. No fun at all....but I got over it...and so shall you. You have free coaching and video coming when you get in the air! My new PC-105 will be here shortly and my stills rig is getting there slowly.

Oh man!

I feel for you, I really do. For whatever it's worth, I wish the best for ya.

Surgeons are very good nowadays. The odds are stacked very much to your side. Wish you could avoid it though [:/].

Best of luck and big {VIBES} from Denmark

Hi Chris

Wife was going to have her neck fused so we asked the doc the chance of getting a videoof the surgery. ;)

We figured Micro surgery, TV, just hookup the VCR. Dr says No problemo :)We got the video but had to supply our own tape.[:/]

After TK had his neck fused sent him a copy hey dude this is what they did. TK "no wonder it hurt"

R.I.P.

Video is interesting...however, I don't think I'll elect to get video of my next surgery...a tad too, ah, intimate.

But Chris, get one of yours. That way, it'll prove you have a brain! ;) oh relax, I'm teasing you! Kinda like "if there ain't vid, it didn't happen"....Besides, I already posted my nice post. And I'm feisty today.

Don't worry about the intimate stuff the video started after the incision was made and the skin was spread everything else is draped in green couldn't even tell it was a neck. All we could see was the area the Dr was cutting , grinding and hammering on.

When we try and find the tape of the neck surgery We have to remember what to look for or we get it confused with the shoulder surgery (scope).

Did you get a video of your tandem? Skydiver's luv to geek the camera. ;)

If they don't have video, colored stills are still a option. As long as its scope or micro stuff.:)

Surgery is a great adventure. Think about the fun you can have in a hospital!

1) Call up the admitting office and admit things
2) Walk around with the gown on backwards! (only truly effective for dudes - though we don't mind chicks trying)
3) Ask the head nurse if she's in charge of, um, cleaning the toilets
4) Make your roommate, who just had adbominal surgery, laugh.

Let me know which ones work...:)

Um, Slug, I am certain it would be highly "entertaining", but, um, well, I am having surgery on my cervix and uterus. I don't think it's something I am prepared to see, let alone let anyone else see.

And I never did a tandem....but I have vids of all first tries at the various levels of AFF.

That's SO not funny.

Me waking up from appendix surgery:

Nurse: "Hello there...are you waking up?"

Me: "Mmmm.....nnnnn....." Can't see but I know people are in the room. My eyes are open but everything is black.

Nurse: "Oh good.....can you give me a nice cough?"

Me: Thinking to myself...seems like a harmless enough request. "Cough" ......Now I'm thinking....OMG, Fuck, SHit, damn......this is the worst pain I've ever had in my life! When I get better I'm going to KILL this bitch!!! I wish I could breathe!!!!



OK...well...it's funny now only because I have had years to recover. :D Don't worry Muenkel. I'm sure your head can't hurt HALF that bad.

All the good vibes in this thread lets you know a lot
of skydivers from all over the world will be with you

sending up some prayers urging Him to heal you up

Dammitt woman! I don't think anyone here has offered Chris any healing BOOBIES yet?!?!?!?!?! Lets get him what he really needs. Just think how much increased blood flow and therefor healing would take place with his head between a nice set of BOOBIES! :D Oh wait....no .....that might make the blood flow AWAY from that head. :D
