mouth 0 #27 August 13, 2003 You are right Wendy, motivation is a good thing. You know Katiebear is over from Kuwait for a few and going to get to jump this weekend. I may even head up and watch with Raefordite since she is grounded with the broken foot. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

gemini 0 #30 August 13, 2003 Grounded at Rantoul on my first jump day with a pinched nerve. I thought I just had a sore knee, but on the third jump right leg went numb. Stood up the landing, but couldn't walk off the landing area. Had the MRI yesterday and waiting on results. This really sucks...TSR is this weekend in Dallas, Balloonar the following weekend and AOT right after. Still no feeling below right knee to ankle. Lisa, that's why I wasn't around after dropping by the tent the first Sunday. Couldn't even get to the dz until Thursday and once Anomaly sat me in the golf cart, I was there for the day!!! Good seeing Lisa, Chris, Rob and Renee and a few others I've forgotten. Don't know what was more painful, the injury, watching everyone jump for 4 more days, or selling all my jump tickets back to manifest on the last Sunday!

oldnewbie 0 #31 August 13, 2003 Your right, I'm also grounded with ear/sinus problems!!! I have 3 more days before I am no longer current!! What to do, what to do??? Last week before hearing about your ears being torn, i would have just gone to keep current!!! (no, not proficient) Now i won't jump to possibly save my ears!!! I have a doctors appt in one hour, we shall see!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chuteless 1 #32 August 13, 2003 I dont know if you consider suspension from CSPA the same as "grounded", but Ive been suspended for 34 years. I doesnt mean I cant jump, and Ive been invited to jump at CSPA dropzones and non cspa, so maybe suspension isnt the same as "grounded".

Now they want to do something called an EMG? Anybody know what this is? They are thinking I may have stretched the femoral nerve with a hard opening.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites chuteless 1 #40 August 14, 2003 One suspension for life was because of doing a jump without a chute on Aug 20th 1969. I was then reinstated, after doing the 2nd chuteless jump July 20th 1972. I set the Canadian High Altitude record, and CSPA submitted the documentation to the FAI, and registered the jump as a record. I showed a portion of the chuteless jump #2 on TV and had a 15 minute show for which I was paid $1500.00. They asked if it would be possible to jump from the wallk of the Grand Canyon, and I said it would ( although I had no plans to do it ). This really upset some CSPA types, and the 2nd life suspension was in effect immediately. CSPA sent me my HALO recoird certificate, and then proceeded to make up a set of "CSPA" records. I was a member in good standing when I made the record jump (36,916ft) and was picked up upon landing by the CSPA Executive Director, but I wasnt included in their "CSPA" records. They dont want to respect anything with my name on it, even if they know it to be true. Still suspended, and their vendetta attacks aren't finished.
