LawnDart21 0 #1 April 21, 2002 1st load, 66mph winds at 12,000ft................I open at 3,500ft......look around...........where the fuck am I?.....is that the airport in the distance?.........yup, it is, how the hell did that happen?.....oh well, another off field landing..........no biggie, I land off like it's my job.....there's the horse farm, nice big open field.........and apparently not as flat as it looks from 1500ft...... as I was surfing across the ground, I hear this nasty sound, but keep surfing, then flare (stood the fucker up perfectly)....as I am standing there looking around, I start thinking, hey, my left foot really fucking hurts.....I look down and notice my left foot is pointing west, while the rest of me is facing south...........apparently I caught my trailing foot in a ditch on the field as I surfed over it......long story short, Doctor Nikki thinks I have strained some ligaments (nothing broken thank God), now I'm home icing my ankle while everyoone else is jumping this gorgeous day away......oh well, today was my day I guess.........."I live to EFS"Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gale 0 #5 April 21, 2002 Me too!! My left foot even! Yesterday was worse actually because I had to look longinly up at a perfectly cloudless sky and pout. Doc says it's going to be 3-6 weeks for me. I'm thinking I can cut that down considerably. How long for you?Anyway, I'm here for you. Ooo, and did I mention I have a final tomorrow and thus can't take any pain meds (the make me too woozy to study). Yeah, great.Get well soon. The thought I'm trying to concentrate on is this, by the time I get all better it will be good weather everyday and I can go out any time I want.GaleLife's not worth living if you can't feel alive Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkydiveMonkey 0 #6 April 21, 2002 That sucks !! You just need a woman to take away then pain now (or at least make you forget about it!!) When you participate in sporting events, its not whether you win or you're loose, its how drunk you get. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dove 0 #7 April 22, 2002 OUCH!!! Hope you feel better soon! If I can do 12 weeks (so far - and at least 4 more...) in beautiful St. Pete where it has been partly cloudy and beautiful practically every day since my injury you can make it too! Be good to your ankle and it will be good to you and you'll be flying again in no time.dove Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
