No, wish I had a cool story to go with the surgery but I don't. I guess I'll have to work on getting one.

I recently had 3 screws and a plate put in my cervical spine. The doctor has told me no jumping because it will weaken my spine above and below where she did her work. I was wanting to know if anyone else is jumping with hardware in their neck and if it caused them any problems.

I had the same problem - purple painful thighs. I got to where I hated opening shock. Getting all tensed up made it worse. I tried wearing compression shorts and that helped alittle. I too asked my instructor and he told me I would get use to it over time. I'm not jumping right now, but when I start I know I'll have to deal with the problem before it gets bad.

Watch hockey and shovel snow. Not much else to do where you're at in the winter. Ever try skiing? It's fun but not the same rush.

I went to the course in 2007 and it was great. You will meet an outstanding group of instructors and students. Don't forget knee pads. The little motel, The Red Rose, ( I think ) gets full fast. It's not much to write home about but it's clean and the price is right.
