I had just started vacation, gotten back on the line to get my aff, certification. Many less than 20 jumps left, a romantic carriage ride on mackinac island just like 23 years ago, except 23 years ago i was on my honeymoon, and the horses did not get spooked and plummet us down a 31 foot (bluff/cliff) judging by the damage to the carriage and to my body, and my husband lost most of his scalp, just like the Indians did. All I now have to show for it is a husband who's brain is all messed up, and I keep getting yelled for every word I speak.
I was the one who was the most beaten up, they say skydiving is dangerous, we got in a huge fight before vacation, on how I had risked our entire future for taking up the sport again, Just 4 extra tandems, with a great instructor, I started my aff classes, but had to leave before the real fun began.
Now I do not know if I will ever be able to jump ever again. The personal damage, a spouse who does not get it, and does not realize that vacations are much more dangerous than a properly planned and exicuted dive.
I have two broken feet, two severly spained ankles, two dislocated and relocated knee caps, a broken humerus, and a badly chipped ulna, and a major pinch on my right wrist.
The carriage accident happened in a flash August 3rd, I contacted the specialist yesterday and he said it has only been 15 weeks (it has only been 12) he expects my pain may come down in another 6 to 9 weeks minimum (add 3 weeks to that).
I have asked if I was ever going to be able to be normal again, he did not really give me an answer. I am not sure what is really going on. He asked me to come into the hospital on a monday for a few extra tests, 17 specialist later, and 10 days later I finally got out of the hospital.
I have only been in physical therapy for 3.5 weeks and the painful part has not yet begun.
I had the next to last of the micro surgeries on my back two whole days before the carriage accident. I am getting the feeling that I may never fly again.
This is the only place I feel comfortable speaking of this, flying again. everyone around me, tells me to shut up and count my blessings, and what a fool I would be to finish my class and get my certification.
will I ever fly again. And if I do finally heal well, will being free as a bird again cause extra pains in the future or will I ever get to go up again
I am a broken eagle, and not just physically
I am all alone. I am in pain, and I am wondering if it will ever go away ?
